Production, ageing notes & comments

10 July, 2025

Possibly the darkest whisky Dan’s ever produced has been named after his all time favourite comic character. This beautiful whisky is a first for Highwayman as it’s matured in a cognac cask but it’s a little more detailed than that! A full sized cask that was used to mature cognac for 80 to 90 years found its way to Australia before being used for one vintage of red wine and one maturation of Mede. It was then recoopered down to 125 litres and given a medium toast and medium char giving this whisky an incredible depth unlike anything you’ve ever tasted! Layer upon layer unfold as you delve into its unique flavour gifting you a one of a kind masterpiece with an abundance of dried fruits, dark sweetness, soft earthy spices and an incredible burst of umami savoriness on the finish!

Dan Woolley.
