‘Four malts, a hint of smoke, and a swagger that could out-stare a bouncer.’

‘O’Grady’s Stand, the house signature and spiritual backbone of Kinglake. 

Forget polite aperitifs - this is a dram that walks into the bar heavy-footed and refuses to be ignored. Built from a four-malt mash bill - three drawn from Griffiths in NSW (including one roasted to a decadent chocolate) and a smoky recruit from the Scottish Borders - it’s all stitched together into a rich, oily spirit designed to hold its ground.’

Aged in small-format ex-bourbon barrels from Kentucky, re-coopered here in Australia, O’Grady’s is chewy, muscular, and defiantly Kinglake. It’s the whisky equivalent of rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in.’
