An intense, high-proof single-barrel pick from Augusta Distillery, this 13-year Hazmat release is built for collectors and experienced sippers who want concentrated flavor and age-driven depth.
Description
Thirteen years in barrel gives this pick notable maturity—deep caramel and oak weave with assertive spice and heat. The cask-strength presentation preserves the barrel’s full expression, revealing layers that evolve with time and dilution.
Approach it with patience: a little water unlocks mid-palate richness and calms the initial wall of heat, exposing caramelized sugars and wood spice beneath.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Intense caramel and toasted oak with pronounced spice and petrol-like warmth.
- Palate: Concentrated caramel and oak tannins layered with assertive baking spice and waves of heat.
- Finish: Very long and warming, finishing on spicy oak and residual caramel.
Why This Bottle Stands Out
Its combination of age, single-barrel selection, and cask-strength proof creates a rare, collectible bottling that rewards careful tasting and aging nuances.
Perfect For
- Seasoned whiskey collectors and high-proof enthusiasts
- Slow, contemplative sipping with water on hand
- Special-occasion pours that showcase barrel character
