Bourne from a Neighbourhood Brew hiatus, DISTRIKT WHISKEY sought out to feature Australia’s finest creative talents and distillers utilising select Western Australian equipment, brewers and manufacturers to create unique micro batch whiskey with a bent for the multiverse.

Distilled at Illegal Tender Rum Co. , casked and matured at Whipper Snapper Distillery & bottled at Haiver Spirits - We believe this is Western Australia's first real authentic Whiskey distilled from finished, quality craft beer - our own 'Neighbourhood Brew'.

The first 'micro batch' yielded a total of 175 bottles for commercial release.

There were two different casks, One American Oak 64 x litre & one Hungarian Oak 112 litre. Casking date was November 2018, and de-casked February 2021.

The Hungarian Oak Whiskey was then bottled at 51% abv and finished in a toasted French Oak Cask (18 x bottles only), and in another French Oak Cask that held Piggs Peake Port 2014 Vintage, shipped over straight from the barrel in the hunter Valley (18 x bottles only).

The barrel was refilled immediately with beer (Collaboration with Wedgetail Brewing co.), and then finished again in french oak recently emptied of 27 year old Port.

(444 x bottles only)

The American Oak Whiskey was bottled at 'Cask Strength' 51% abv, and released with two finishes (once the above sell through). Sherry Cask finish (same as LimeBurners use - 18 yr old), and Shiraz Cask finish (James Talijancich Solero - 20 yrs old fortified Shiraz). The Shiraz cask is the final Whiskey to be released and is actually a blend of the American & Hungarian Oak Casks. The barrel was then refilled with a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout Collaboration beer - including interesting 'Rotovap' technology.
