Description
NEW DATE - 14th December
The Black Gate distillery was the first hot climate distillery in NSW. Situated in Mendooran, roughly 45 minutes from Dubbo in Central West NSW, Black Gate was established in 2009 - and is a small husband & wife operation that is owned and run by Brian & Genise Hollingworth.
Small by Australian standards - practically a backyard hobby by Scottish standards, Black Gate has a capacity to produce roughly 3000 litres of whisky and 1000 litres of rum per year on their 630 litre and 300 litre direct fired copper pot stills that produce the rich flavourful spirit that Black Gate is famous for.
For this tasting we will be going through a selection of independently bottled whiskies that were distilled at Black Gate. Our lineup will see whisky bottled by That Boutigue-y Whisky Company, Ambassador Whisky, Barrel & Batch, the Oak Barrel, and a bottle that was released as a partnership of Dram Full & the Australian Whisky Appreciation Society.
Meet the Distillers!
Brian & Genise Hollingworth will be coming down to Canberra from Mendooran for this flight in the leadup to Whisky Capital on Saturday 15th October!
