On a mission this week, sourcing our local, coastal salt marsh peat to make more of our lightly peated maritime Tasmanian whisky!

Watch the clip here.

A uniquely Waubs Harbour peat flavour profile.

“It’s such a different style of peat to the highland style of Sphagnum moss peat, it’s a very different flavour profile. It’s exciting to see our natural environment in the whisky that’s so local to our provenance here on the east coast. ” - Co-founder Tim

Head Distiller Rob on the composition of the salt marsh peat:

“You can see how fibrous it is. It’s not roots, it’s the decay of coastal reeds and sedges. It’s like coconut fibre.

“I’ll split it up into slots and dry it out just like you dry out firewood and it’ll burn really nice and clean.” - Rob

And of course, a dram of our brand new Limited Release Salt Marsh Edition 2 whisky at the very place it began. Cheers to that!

Salt Marsh Edition 2 whisky coming August 12th!
