Transportation Whiskey Tasmanian Single Pot Still Release #1 Ticket of Leave
A long story this one, and we’ll have the full picture for you in 2023. But this is the first release from John Halton’s Transportation Whiskey brand, launched a few weeks back. It was created in the Irish single pot still style in partnership with Damian Mackey, creator of the Mackey Whisky brand and formerly of Shene Distillery. From a mash of 60% malted barley, 30% unmalted barley and 10% oats, this was then triple distilled by Halton and Mackey at what will become Hunter Island Distillery, set to open in Hobart in early 2023.
