Fannys Bay ex-Port Private Barrel No 27 Cask Strength Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky Special Bottling #3 by MyWhiskyJourneys - Current

$315 AUD

63 % ABV

500 ml

Barrel 27 was the first ever private barrel filled at the Fannys Bay distillery.  Barrel 27 was purchased by the Cratur Whisky Investment Trust and the filling was done personally by MWJ director, Philip Morrice, under the watchful supervision of Mathew and Julie Cooper, on 23 May 2016.  The mature whisky was bottled at cask strength two years and six months later.

The 20l barrel yielded a comfortable 36 bottles which are available exclusively on the MWJ website. The people at Cratur, who own these scarce bottles, have generously agreed to make some of them available to MWJ followers.

Fannys Bay Distillery

Mathew and Julie Cooper eschewed retirement in order to indulge in making a few small batches of single malt whisky in their repurposed garage, which is now a fully functioning whisky distillery. Every corner is occupied by the essential distillery equipment, including their mash-tun, stainless steel wash-backs and the petite copper pot still, which is at the heart of the endeavour. Julie can be found perfecting the design and prints of the labels while Mathew continues filling small oak casks.

Fannys Bay released their first cask strength, single cask whisky in July 2017 with the promise of more to follow. Given the incredibly small runs from the distillery, these expressions can only increase in value. The location of the distillery on the stunning, windswept Tam O’Shanter coast may give the whisky a certain maritime characteristic.
