It's the age-old question of house style versus the cask.

Which will shine through when six small-batch and single-cask, cask-strength, independently bottled releases from the same distillery are lined up shoulder to shoulder? And what about that mystery? Is that a Caol Ila or is something sneaky going on here?

There's only one way to find out!

Here's the lineup...

• Caol Ila 'BBR' 2010 / 2023 #318377 56.4% Hogshead/Oloroso Finish 
• Caol Ila 'Gordon & MacPhail' 2006 58.3% 1st Fill Sherry Puncheon

Brockenchack is a multi-generational family winery located high in South Australia’s famed Eden Valley in the Barossa region. Surrounded by world-renowned vineyards like Henschke and Yalumba, Eden Valley’s ideal growing region delivers the optimal balance of warm days and cool nights, resulting in the most desirable acid-tannin-fruit balance and an impressive volume of aroma and flavour captured in each bottle. This is why they’ve been growing grapes in this region since the 1800s, with Brockenchack’s own Riesling vines dating back to 1896.

Brockenchack’s visionary and founder, Trev, is driven by an unwavering dedication to produce wines he is proud to call his own and to leave a legacy for his family.

When they set out on their first vintage in 2008 Trev and Marilyn dedicated their wine venture to the four grandchildren by naming it after them; BROnte, MaCKENzie, CHArli and JaCK.

Each wine in the range is also named after a cherished family member or something of significance to the family.

Cancellations must be made no later than 48hrs in advance.
