Fleurieu Here Comes The Flood Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 700ml
58.7% ABV | Fleurieu Distillery, Goolwa, South Australia
Experience the bold spirit of the Australian coast with Here Comes The Flood, a cask strength single malt whisky crafted by Fleurieu Distillery on the wild South Coast of South Australia. Distilled from locally grown barley in traditional copper pot stills, this whisky is matured in heavily charred Australian red wine casks, imparting a distinctive depth and character unique to its coastal environment.
The nose is a captivating blend of dark fruit compote, burnt caramel, red liquorice, and scorched oak, balanced by a subtle smoky brine that hints at its maritime maturation. On the palate, it delivers intense flavors of black cherry, molasses, roasted nuts, and warm spice, all layered over a firm foundation of tannin and toasted wood. Despite its robust 58.7% ABV, the whisky maintains a luscious mid-palate and generous texture, offering a harmonious balance between power and elegance.
The finish is long and complex, revealing notes of cacao, peppercorn, black tea, and a persistent maritime echo that lingers beautifully. This cask strength bottling is unfiltered and unapologetically bold, embodying Fleurieu Distillery’s elemental style and coastal heritage.
Here Comes The Flood has been recognized with prestigious accolades including the Silver Medal at the Melbourne Royal Australian International Spirits Awards 2025 and the Silver Medal at the Royal Queensland Awards 2025, underscoring its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.
