Fleurieu The Palace of Humbug Peated Single Malt Whisky 700ml
Peated Australian Single Malt Whisky - 53% ABV | Fleurieu Distillery, Goolwa, South Australia
Experience a bold expression of coastal craftsmanship with Fleurieu's The Palace of Humbug, a peated single malt whisky that captures the wild spirit of South Australia’s rugged shoreline. Crafted in small batches at Fleurieu Distillery, this 53% ABV whisky combines locally malted barley with traditional Scottish peat influence, delivering a distinctive maritime character that is both robust and refined.
Distilled on the blustery South Coast, this whisky is matured in a unique blend of third-fill American oak and tawny casks, imparting layers of complexity and depth. Bottled without chill-filtration, it preserves the full intensity of its flavour profile, offering a sensory journey that balances smoky power with subtle sweetness.
The nose reveals an inviting medley of liquorice root, peppermint, and toffee, intertwined with evocative campfire smoke. Underneath, notes of charred oak and briny driftwood conjure vivid images of sea-sprayed barrels and windswept cliffs. On the palate, The Palace of Humbug delivers a dynamic fusion of burnt sugar, treacle toffee, roasted nuts, and leather, all enveloped in earthy peat and a refreshing maritime tang.
The finish is long and smoky with gentle medicinal hints, tapering into salted caramel, ash, and peppermint bark. This whisky’s playful name belies its serious craftsmanship, offering a richly peated malt that marries seaside smoke with confectionery charm and coastal gravitas.
