About 78˚ Native Grain Whiskey

Worlds Best Grain Whiskey at 2021 World Whiskey Awards.
Double Gold 2021 San Fran World Spirits Competition.

The first whiskey in the world to be made using Australian cereal grains, this year’s Native Grain release is truly exceptional, representing a single cask expression of our award winning whiskey – limited to just 300 bottles.

A unique and engaging expression, made from a base of local malted and unmalted barley, along with native Weeping Grass, creating a whiskey unlike any other in terms of taste and character.

78° Native Grain Whiskey was named the winner of Worlds Best Grain Whiskey at the World Whiskies Awards in 2019, and received a coveted Double Gold at the SFWSC in 2021. We have no doubt that this 2023 release will be equally recognised for its high quality, and prized for its unique nature.

Tasting Notes

NOSE

Intense cereal characteristics & apricot kernel from the Weeping Grass mingle with caramel, toffee & toasted malt from the traditional grain.

TASTE

Rich and creamy with beautifully balanced french oak influence. Fresh red berry character. Apricot kernel, stone fruit and spice give way to earthy almost ginger character.

FINISH

Beautiful long finish, including notes of dried apricots and kitchen spice.

WEEPING GRASS

Weeping Grass grows native to Australia and produces a plump grain similar to a rice grain, but when distilled it gives beautiful cereal, brown rice-like characters, with hints of apricot kernel & toasted chocolate. We like to think of it as Australia's Rye.

BARLEY MALT

Giving off notes of creamy caramel, toasted cereal & lingering hints of citrus & toffee. We know South Australia has prized barley that is GM free and 100% rainwater fed. Currently around 85% of South Australian barley is exported, but we couldn't be happier by supporting our local growers by using home grown barley.

FRENCH OAK

Rested in 120 litre French Oak barrels, we work closely with a local cooperage that operates in South Australia to have our barrels coopered to our specifications as the quality of oak is crucial to our Whiskey releases.

EX-CABERBET FRANC BARRELS

The beautifully balanced french oak influence gives way to notes of fresh red berries, stonefruit & earthy, spicy ginger characters for a lingering finish.
