Cape Byron ‘The Original’ Australian Single Malt Whisky Batch 007, the signature expression, aged in American oak ex-bourbon casks.

The colour of a Byron Bay sunset. The palate offers soft vanilla, creme brulee, and biscotti characters, layered over distinct notes of pear, coconut and buttery macadamia.

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.

“Our whisky lives and breathes the conditions of the dense subtropical rainforest here in the hinterland of Byron Bay. Our barrels have lay wait within the rainforest and take in all of the elements throughout their maturation. We have something here that is really unique”.
- Eddie Brook

Jim McEwan (ex-Bruichladdich master distiller) co-created this with local founder Eddie Brook, and that Scottish expertise shows in the quality. That coconut and macadamia isn't coincidence - Byron Bay's subtropical climate creates unique maturation conditions where tropical flavours develop naturally in the barrels.
