78 Degrees Triple Smoke Whiskey ($150)
A collaboration between 78 Degrees and Corsair Distillery in the United States. 78 Degrees took single paddock unmalted barley and smoked it with Australian red gum, while Corsair smoked the same barley with American cherrywood. A portion of Scottish peated malt was then added to these smoked malts, mashed, fermented, distilled and matured to create something that ties together the three whisky producing regions.
