21 Club Release No.02

Celery Top

21 Year Old American Oak Ex-Bourbon Cask

As a valued member of Australia's most exclusive whisky club, the 21 Club, you enjoy unrivalled access to 21 exceptional bottlings of our oldest and rarest whiskies - each a distinctive piece of Australian whisky history.

This month, we are delighted to offer you exclusive access to
21 Club Release No.02 - Celery Top.

The Whisky

Celery Top has matured for 21 years in American oak ex-bourbon casks and was bottled at 53.2% ABV. 

American oak ex-bourbon casks have been the cornerstone of our maturation program since the very beginning, with some of our oldest American oak casks now surpassing 22 years of age.

These 200L bourbon casks, crafted from American oak, provide the ideal maturation vessel that perfectly complements the character of our unique spirit. Over two decades of maturation create a whisky that embodies the complexity of character, elegance, and the distinctive profile of Hellyers Road.

Crafted exclusively for the 21 Club from selected 2003 American oak casks, this whisky is a stunning example of quality craftsmanship and patience.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweet and rich with honey nut cornflakes, golden syrup, cooked nectarines, mandarins in syrup, and crushed almonds. Hints of marzipan, salt water toffee, baked apples, pears, and soft hazelnut praline, with light spices and vanilla.

Palate

Round and warming with poached nectarines, plums, dates, and baking spices. Nut oils (macadamia, almond), cooking apples, and pear drops, balanced by a savoury oak finish.

Finish

Long and complex, with lasting fruity, nutty sweetness and a subtle oak-driven savoury note.

Celery Top

Each of our 21 Club releases has featured a Tasmanian endemic rainforest tree, species that are unique, beautiful and brought to life in the drawings of Inti Callaghan on the labels of the 21 Club whiskies.

For this release, we chose one of our very favourite endemic Tasmanian trees, Celery Top Pine. Not only do its delicate green cladodes and rich red cones reflect the festive essence of the season, but its timber, much prized by boatbuilders and furniture makers, warms from a light creamy hue to a rich gold over the years – just like our American Oak cask single malt whisky.

This treasured release will come with a Certificate of Authenticity, a note from the artist Inti Callaghan and a postcard sized version of Inti's beautiful artwork.
