Whisky Abbey 2026
production notes

This annual batch release has become one of, if not the most anticipated releases of the year and for good reason! Dan always spends a lot of time hand-selecting, nosing, tasting and planning what to unleash for Whisky Abbey and this double sherry matured beast is no exception to this.

Highwayman unpeated spirit is aged in a first fill 125L Oloroso sherry cask before being given a second maturation in a wet refill Pedro Ximinez cask, double the sherry, double the flavour! Each bottle has a custom designed label portraying Byron Bays famous ‘Pass’ surf spot with Louis the Bluey wearing his bucket hat complete with dangling corks! The Highwayman logo emblazoned across the top is holographic and the custom Pacific Ocean blue wax is a one off colour made just for this batch. Each bottle has a hand written back label and is individually numbered.

The whisky inside the bottle is truly delicious and must be tasted to be believed! Bottled unfiltered and at a cask strength of 55% this batch yielded 150 bottles and they won’t last long….
