PEATED SINGLE MALT BATCH #2

About this release

The second batch of our exclusive small batch Peated Single Malt. Aged in a 100L Medium Char American Oak Barrel for 3 years and 4 months in the tropical environment of South-East Queensland.

During the ageing process, the barrel demonstrated excellent temperature and humidity control, losing only 38% of the original volume to the 'Angels Share.' This loss is significantly lower than other whiskeys we have released, highlighting the essential role of quality craftsmanship in the barrel-making process.

TASTING NOTES

The Nose: This is perhaps the most important part of assessing a whiskey. Perceived aromas result from the production and ageing processes of whiskey. Tasting is simply to confirm what your nose has already told you. Lightly salted peat, maple, vanilla and damper.

Palate and Finish: Start with a clean palate to truly appreciate the whiskey, focussing on the texture followed by subsequent tastings to analyse flavours & scents. White pepper, maple glazed bacon and toffee.

Very limited batch with only 60 retail bottles released.

Barrel #22 | ABV: 43% | 500ml Bottle

SINGLE MALT

About this release

This batch of Bailiff Single Malt Whiskey aged for three years and eight months. Unlike previous releases, typically aged in heavy and medium char barrels, this release aged in a 50L lightly toasted American Oak barrel. As a result, this whiskey has less of an oak influence. In addition, the tropical environment of South-East Queensland has forced a loss of 47% of the original volume to the ‘Angels Share’.

TASTING NOTES

The Nose: This is perhaps the most important part of assessing a whiskey. Perceived aromas result from the production and ageing processes of whiskey. Tasting is simply to confirm what your nose has already told you. Light vanilla, tobacco and freshly cut timber.

Palate and Finish: Start with a clean palate to truly appreciate the whiskey, focussing on the texture followed by subsequent tastings to analyse flavours & scents. This whiskey rolls over the palate, starting up front with white pepper and vanilla malt before a mixed finish of hard caramel and woodfire bread crusts. It’s a delicate and smooth dram on its own.

Very limited batch with only 60 retail bottles released.

Barrel #20 | ABV: 43% | 500ml Bottle

THE RELEASE Reviews

In 1932 the Bailiff carried an old school bank note bag to collect the final payment for the farm from the young Granddad Jack. He proudly made payment in full, and the Bailiff stamped Granddad Jack's ledger 'paid'.

As the next chapter of our Bailiff Whiskey begins, we were determined to create a timeless piece that represents Granddad Jack's values and brings another component to the story. So, this year, we embarked on an ambitious project to create another bespoke item to house our premium, small-batch whiskey releases.

In the spirit of Granddad Jack, we've created something to be kept, cherished, and reused long after the bottle is empty.

The making of the Bailiff’s Bank Bag:

The Bailiff's bank note bag was entirely constructed and finished by the skilled hands of Josef Selway, co-owner and talented craftsman behind the boutique workshop Blue & Grae, located in Albion, Brisbane.

This piece was created to represent the old-school bank bag carried by the Bailiff as he approached to collect what was owed on the farm all those years ago. The bag's design and functionality, along with the traditional methods & tools used to craft it, are also a little nod to those from the same era of the story.

Every element has been carefully thought about, from sourcing the finest Australian leather & assembling the components with tarnished hardware to represent the age. The dedication to true craftsmanship & meticulous attention to detail shown by Josef guarantees small-batch, quality pieces every time, each slightly different to the next.

The story behind the ledger:

When Granddad Jack made payment for the farm in full, he had never been prouder. So now, as you join the journey, we mark this moment as you, too, have made payment to the Bailiff. With every drink, we encourage you to celebrate. Share your story & write down in the ledger each time you share a drink and with whom you share it.

The story behind the spirit

why the name?

One day there was a knock on the door. Granddad Jack answered only to find a Bailiff standing there telling him nothing had been paid on the farm in years!

It’s hard to picture a then 14-year-old negotiating for more time, but he did just that. He must’ve been a very smooth talker even at that age because, within half an hour, he walked the Bailiff to the gate and promised to make payment in full. The Bailiff said, “I’ll take your word for it, and if you fulfil your promise, you won’t see me again”.

Over the next few months, Granddad Jack worked hard at the sheep station biking the 65 miles there and back every week and managed to pay the debt off in full - not a bad effort for a young lad when in the 1930s, when the best you could expect to earn was around a pound a week! This integrity, hard work, and a never-give-up attitude have been instilled throughout the family and are what continue to drive Granddad Jack’s brand.

[Here he is pictured years later in front of the family farm he saved]
