Blue Gum
21 Year Old Tawny Port 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.03 - Blue Gum.
The Whisky
The third 21 club release - Blue Gum, is matured for 16 years in American Oak ex-bourbon casks, and then for another five years in a Tawny port cask. Bottled at 49% ABV, it is the ultimate celebration of the Tasmanian terroir.
This whisky opens with delicate, sweet florals on the nose, accompanied by meadow honey and freshly cut hay. Subtle hints of ripe pear and lemon oil further enrich it, while peach and nectarine bring a refreshing sweetness. On the palate, grilled nectarine and pineapple deliver a lively tropical character, complemented by the comforting warmth of date scones and a velvety touch of whipped cream. The flavours deepen with plums and juicy raisins, leading to a remarkable finish that lingers beautifully, showcasing the whisky’s complexity and balance.
This exceptional whisky is crafted from the same liquid that garnered acclaim in the US when bottled for Rare Hare Spirits’ The Tempest - featured in The Spirits Business, Robb Report and more, retailing there for USD 999.

Blue Gum
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 Tasmania's floral emblem, the Tasmanian Blue Gum (Eucalyptus globulus), to feature on the label. A true icon, the Blue Gum is renowned for its grandeur and ecological significance, perfectly reflecting the legacy of our 21 Year Old 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.
