Corra Linn Fumosus Tasmanian Bull Kelp Smoked Whisky

$395 AUD

56.2 % ABV 

700 ml

Corra Linn’s Fumosus Aqua Vitae is a world first Single Malt Whisky. Smoked with Tasmanian Bull Kelp (Durvillaea potatorum). This unique species of Kelp can only be found along the coastline of Tasmania from the pristine waters of the West Coast.

The spirit was filled on 13 March 2017 into two ex-Sherry casks – CLD 046 and CLD 047 – and bottled on 29 August 2019.

Tasting Notes:

Fumosus Aqua Vitae has an amazing seashore aroma along with the notable Sherry influences from the cask. It has a great smooth butteriness and syrupy full mouth feel that will burst into life with amazing tell-tale flavours of the sea along with sweet, caramel, liquorish, earthy and spicy flavours that crescendos with increasing pepper notes, and then leaving you with a freshness of the salty seaside air that is so well known to beachgoers.

CORRA LINN DISTILLERY

Although established in 2015, Corra Linn only released its first expression in 2019. Set in semi-rural surroundings near Launceston, the distillery uses very sophisticated stills made in China and probably never before seen in Australia. The distillery produces a premium whisky spirit through a unique – at least for Tasmania - triple distillation process involving both a pot still and column stills. The Corra Linn casks are the work of the Tasmanian Cask Company and are French oak, ex: port, sherry and pinot noir barrels, mainly from South Australia by origin but refashioned and charred to meet Corra Linn’s specifications. The distiller believes the barley, which is grown in Northern Tasmania, is a factor that differentiates its whisky, as is the pure Tasmanian water.
