Bakery Hill Distillery :: Australian Single Cask, Single Malt Whisky

As one of the major focal points to the Whisky Convention, the Maxxium Group (The macallan, and Highland Park to name two) proposed that they would be very happy to initiate a perpetual trophy to be presented to the producer of the best Australian Single Malt Whisky.

All the malt whiskies were judged and Bakery Hill Distillery was declared the grand champion Mr. Andrew Skeen presented the trophy to David Baker (Distiller and Owner) at Fideles, Crown Casino.

As the whisky convention is scheduled for August 2007 we look forward to defending the trophy.

Tuesday 4th of December was a great day for the South Antipodean Branch of the Gillies Club, they are now the proud owners of a full cask of Bakery Hill Classic Malt Whisky.

On the 4th of December 2004 the entire Gillies Club met at the distillery and under supervision distilled their own malt. This culminated in the “Ceremonial Filling of the selected cask”, this done all members signed and dated the head.

In Australia spirit must be matured in oak for a minimum of 2 years and having just passed this milestone the club now owns real whisky which will continue to mature until thirst or curiosity takes over and the malt is bottled.
