“We are incredibly proud for our Coastal Stone Shiraz Cask winning best in category and gold medal for small batch single malt at the world whisky awards. The expression is a perfect balance of the distilleries malty new make with ex Aussie red wine casks matured by the sea in Sydney’s sub-tropical climate. Subtlety and balance is achieved by this combination making us very happy campers in expectation for our future releases using ex wine varietal casks.” said Vanessa Wilton, Creative Director of Manly Spirits.

Following national success of the Element Series, the Coastal Stone collection has extended its range with the launch of Nor’easter, a luxurious, contemporary signature single malt whisky with an attractive $100 price point for Australian whisky aficionados and whisky newcomers alike.
