Belgrove Distillery White Rye Whiskey 65.3% , Tasmania, Australia 50cl

Belgrove Distillery White Rye Whiskey Tasmania, Australia

Critic tasting note: "Down in Tasmania they're about to start distilling a corn mash whiskey and a triple distilled Irish-style one, and here farmer and sand and ice sculptor Peter Bignell is using his own rye to distill spirit on a still he built himself. This is new white spirit made with 100 percent rye and bottled at 40%. It's more pastis than whiskey, a soft licorice and aniseed alcopop which is way too drinkable.

Belgrove Distillery White Rye Whiskey Tasmania, Australia

ABV: 40%

Style: Unaged rye spirit — bright, spicy, herbal, and wildly characterful

Appearance - Crystal clear, bright, and oily — classic unaged rye spirit.

Nose - Licorice root, aniseed, and fennel pollen. Grassiness, earth, warm cereal. A soft sweetness — icing sugar, vanilla beanmint, lemon balm, crushed coriander seed. A faint peppery prickle from the raw rye spirit. Aromatic, herbal, and surprisingly inviting.

Palate - Aniseed, pastis, and sweet herbal liqueur notes white pepper, ginger, cracked coriander. Soft sweetness — vanilla sugar, marshmallow, barley syrup. A creamy, almost silky texture despite being unaged. Subtle earthy grain character grounding the sweetness. It’s playful, bright, and dangerously sippable.

Finish - Medium length, clean, and herbal.Licorice, mint, and sweet rye grain. A gentle peppery warmthA final echo of anise and soft sugar

A unique Tasmanian white rye that leans into herbal sweetness and aniseed charm. More like a rye‑based pastis than a traditional whiskey — fresh, spicy, and effortlessly drinkable.
