About this bottle

Brian and Genise Hollingworth opened the doors to their Black Gate Distillery in 2012. From award-winning rums, to native Australian liqueurs and now their single malt whisky, they've been making waves since they started. Their single malt whisky is double-distilled in a copper pot-still and is matured for two years in ex-sherry casks. The distillery is well on their way to using only local grains and fruits. Note: This review was completed using the 4th batch.

The 4.02 score up top pulls the average toward its category until enough people have weighed in, so a handful of glowing reviews cannot outrank a thousand steady ones.
