Discover the first release in Cape Byron Whisky’s exclusive Single Cask Series – the ‘Tawny Cask.’ Crafted with precision, this rare whisky has matured for three and a half years in a Chardonnay Tawny Cask sourced from Dutschke Wines in South Australia. This limited release offers an intimate experience of Cape Byron’s signature complexity and depth.

Indulge in the Tawny Cask’s sophisticated flavour profile: a velvety start of hazelnut cream that evolves into lively bursts of candied orange, before settling into rich, lingering layers of toffee and mocha. A rare and opulent whisky, designed for those who seek exceptional taste.

Co-created by one of Scotland’s most awarded Master Distillers, Jim McEwan and Cape Byron Distillery Co-founder and distiller Eddie Brook, this Australian adaptation of a classic Scottish whisky is truly remarkable and unique to the terroir of the Byron Bay region.

53.8% and limited to just 395 bottles

That partnership with Dutschke Wines is clever - tawny casks from established winemakers bring serious fortified wine character that young whisky needs. The nose offers layers of fruit cake spices with red berry sweetness, while the palate develops into rich apricot and triple chocolate flavours that balance the whisky's natural brightness. At 53.8%, this has real presence without being harsh, and that wet-fill process means maximum wine influence from the start. Three and a half years is young for whisky, but those concentrated tawny flavours help it punch well above its age.
