TRI-PORT is a celebration of three distinct port influences, bringing together history, richness and vibrancy in a single whisky.

The journey began in a cask with a remarkable past — originally a 1960s Verdelho cask, which matured our spirit for over six years before receiving a finishing period in a rich Barossa Tawny Cask. The result was a deep, robust whisky filled with layers of dark fruit, jammy sweetness and remarkable weight.

While the depth and intensity of this cask were undeniable, it needed a touch of brightness to bring it into balance with the signature Woodwater style. The decision was made to marry this whisky with a fresher, more vibrant expression from a Dutschke Tawny Cask, adding lift, energy and a beautifully contrasting freshness.

The result is a unique triple-port influenced whisky — a marriage of three cask journeys creating a dram that is both bold and balanced. Rich layers of ripe fruit, jam, sweet oak and fortified wine character intertwine with a fresh brightness, while the cask strength delivers an engaging warmth and intensity that carries through every sip.

A whisky defined by contrast: deep and vibrant, rich and refreshing, historic and evolving.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Berry conserve and ripe stone fruits, with a hint of fuzzy peach skin. A gentle nuttiness sits beneath notes of sugar gum and soft confectionery sweetness.

Palate: Immediately gripping, with rich jammy red fruits and concentrated dried berries. Burnt toffee and malt build into a weighty oak presence, adding depth and structure.

Finish: Tawny and vinous spice gradually emerge, layered with mixed confectionery and a sweet-tart fruit paste. The finish is rich, lingering and gently spiced.

It has been our experience that they showcase their profiles, aromas and drink best around and above room temperature (between 18-23°C).

These whiskies deserve TIME, PATIENCE, and WARMTH in your glass.
