Dark Valley Governor's Edict Adams ex-Port Cask Strength - Historic

$695 AUD

 

66.9% ABV   

500 ml

 

There were only 37 bottles of Governor’s Edict, bottled at 66.9% in early 2023 from an ex-port cask filled at Adams Distillery.

Governor’s Edict - Tasmania’s history is plagued by the dreaded temperance of powerful people, most notably Governor John Franklin who presided over the Distillation Prohibition Act of 1839. Thankfully these dark days are long behind the distillers of Tasmania, with a meteoric rise in the presence of distilleries and production of delicious new make spirit. A whisky not to turn you to swine, but a much better use of barley than pig feed.

Indicative Tasting Notes:

Rich red fruits, chocolate and mandarin citrus, with a robust pencil box oak hit. On the palate, delicious viscosity, with a carry through of chocolate sauce on savoury barbecued meats from the peated barley and a deep syrup red fruit at the fore.

DARK VALLEY WHISKY COMPANY

Dark Valley Whisky Company was established in 2014 by Alex Moores based on the model of the independent bottlers of Scottish and other world whiskies.

His aim is to bottle all Tasmanian distilleries in a way that showcases the raw and elementary qualities of the different distilleries. He began with three releases featuring whisky distilled at Lark Distillery and the range has since been extended to include Adams, Killara, Launceston, Redlands and Spring Bay.

As at January 2022, Dark Valley has bottled 25 Tasmanian whiskies at cask strength, mostly small runs of about 30 bottles from 20 litre casks.  24 of the 25 expressions have already sold out on the Dark Valley website.

Dark Valley comes from the Gaelic name Glen Dhu, which is the area in Tasmania where Alex grew up and is now the headquarters of Dark Valley Whisky.
