Fleurieu Telemachus Single Malt Whisky 700ml
Australian Single Malt Whisky – 47% ABV | Fleurieu Distillery, Goolwa, South Australia
Crafted in an exclusive batch of just 250 bottles, the Fleurieu Telemachus Single Malt Whisky captures the essence of South Australia’s rugged coastal landscape. Distilled from premium South Australian barley using traditional copper pot stills near the mouth of the Murray River, this whisky is a refined expression of place and patience. Matured in a carefully balanced combination of ex-bourbon and ex-Apera wine casks, it achieves a rich complexity that is both elegant and approachable.
The nose reveals a delicate bouquet of granita biscuit, soft honey, and bright citrus zest layered over a clean malt foundation. On the palate, vibrant lemon sherbet and creamy cereal sweetness mingle with subtle marzipan and a gentle spice, while a faint coastal brine adds an intriguing structural nuance without overwhelming the core flavors. The finish is crisp and warming, with lingering notes of sweet spice, malt, and citrus that showcase a poised and balanced character.
