After four years in the making, 23rd Street Distillery has entered the whisky market, releasing its Australian Whisky and Whisky & Cola RTD range.

Matured in 23rd Street Distillery’s historic Barrel Hall located in South Australia's Riverland area, the warm dry summers and mild winters provide the perfect climate to create an intense, unique Whisky flavour that’s distinctly Australian.

23rd Street brand manager Sarah Camerlengo said the company had invested a significant amount of time in the early stages of creating the new Australian Whisky range.

“We needed to be able to answer some very important questions; what do Australians want in Whisky and is there opportunity to insert our brand into the fiercely competitive imported Whisky category.

“After discovering that 95 per cent of Whisky available is imported, we knew our job was to challenge this and prove that we have everything we need right here on our doorstep. We set out to create a Whisky that’s designed to be savoured and enjoyed in the same climate as it’s matured in, and this is exactly what we’ve achieved with these new products,” said Camerlengo.

The 23rd Street Australian Whisky range is available at national leading retailers across the country and online via Sippify. To learn more visit 23rdstreetdistillery.com.au.
