In this fourth edition of Blunderbuss, we reach even further with depth and complexity, with our oldest release to date.

At 9 years old, this latest expression is crafted with seven years maturation in American oak ex-bourbon casks which brings a rich foundation of vanilla, caramel, and oak. We've then ramped up the flavour further with an additional two full years of finishing in an ex-Hop Nation Brewing - Imperial Stout cask — a vessel with its own unique backstory.

Prior to its time with stout, this cask held Bakery Hill Eldorado sherry cask whisky, leaving behind a subtle but unmistakable imprint of sweet, juicy fortified nectar. The result is a layered, evolving profile where vanilla sweetness, stout richness, and lingering sherry influence converge.

At nine years old, this is the most complex Blunderbuss expression to date — bold, textural, and unapologetically flavour-driven. A true showcase of time, collaboration, and the character of our distillery.

Outturn for Blunderbuss 4th Edition is limited to just 178 bottles, each individually numbered.

ABV - 53%

Review from Lachlan Watt - Whisky & Alement and SMWS

"The stout cask, while still prevalent, is very well integrated and highlights the spirit’s character beautifully. Bakery Hill has always had a malt-forward profile, with notes of stone fruit and an umami, yeasty backbone (which a good friend of mine once likened to Vegemite on toast), and this remains evident throughout the release.

On the front palate, this spirit character is immediately apparent, balanced against the cask. A burst of juicy apricot leads the way, sitting alongside bold barbecued pineapple and softer chocolate notes derived from the Hop Nation “Kalash” stout cask. This is followed by Bakery Hill’s malt character coming through, with notes of malted milkshakes and toasted sesame, once again meeting the cask for further notes of Milo ice cream, pineapple tarte tatin, and ironbark honey.

This all comes to a close on the back palate and finish, where the cask takes a more prominent role and reminds you that, after all of that intricate balance, you are indeed tasting a stout cask whisky. Dark chocolate and dry cacao nibs lead into a drying finish that leaves you wanting more.

I truly enjoyed the journey this release has taken me on—one of my favourite Blunderbuss releases to date!"
