Remnant Whisky Distillery Rolls Out The Golden Fleece
Remnant Whisky distillery and distributor has launched its new expression the Golden Fleece. The new spirit will join others who were rescued by the Remnant trio.
In 2020, three whisky enthusiasts and businessmen purchased the remaining whisky casks that belonged to a community group known as the Nant Distillery barrel investment scheme. The trio, Peter Bignell, Dane Bignell, and Phil Collidge, founded the Australian distillery in Tasmania. The company continued the casks maturity process and is reaping the benefits of a great investment.
Legally known as Remnant Whisky Company, the company has released twelve whiskies from the rescued barrels. The Golden Fleece has become the thirteenth flavor. The spirit was created by combining 14 casks of ex-American Oak Bourbon and ex-Australian Sherry (Apera). The material prima was at least 10 years old.
Remnant Whisky Pride the Golden Fleece Whisky
Master distiller for the company, Peter Bignell reiterated the importance of the aging process of the single malt whisky. He said:
“The Golden Fleece has undergone the same strict cask selection and vatting process as all our previous releases. Firstly, we design all our whiskies for a great drinking experience. When you purchase a Remnant, you will always receive a full-flavored, multi-layered single malt whisky that is a pleasure nosing, through to a long finish. Whisky is honest, we let the whisky tell us what ABV strength works best for that release, and that’s been the same for The Golden Fleece. An incredible example of Tasmanian whisky.”
Remnant Whisky distributes its products via The Whisky List. Oliver Maruda, Co-Founder of The Whisky List, was also upbeat about the new release. He presented the Golden Fleece as an excellent example of Australian whisky.
“We love this whisky,” he said. “Not only does it taste great, it’s adding to the growing category of other Aussie distilleries in the sub-$100 price range, especially if we want more Australians who drink mostly Scotch Whisky blends to consider drinking local. The Golden Fleece is the perfect Tassie whisky we hope to see in everyone’s home bars, or at your local pub or bar. A great gift for Christmas too.”
