Belgrove Rye Whisky 46% is one of the flagship expressions from Belgrove Distillery and showcases the distillery’s pioneering approach to rye whisky production in Tasmania. Made from 100% estate-grown rye, the whisky is produced entirely on the Belgrove farm, where the grain is grown, malted, fermented, distilled, matured, and bottled on site.
Bottled at 46% ABV, it highlights the distinctive character of rye through a complex yet balanced flavor profile. The nose reveals notes of chamomile tea, peppermint, cedar oak, and subtle dill-like spice, while the palate develops layers of malt, vanilla, milk chocolate, almonds, green walnuts, and freshly baked sourdough bread.
Its creamy texture is complemented by gentle spice and a dry, mildly tannic finish that lingers with remarkable elegance. Matured in a selection of carefully chosen casks, the whisky reflects Peter Bignell’s philosophy of preserving the natural character of the grain rather than allowing oak influence to dominate.
As Australia’s original rye whisky, Belgrove Rye Whisky 46% has become one of the distillery’s most recognized releases and an example of the innovative, farm-driven craftsmanship that defines Belgrove Distillery.
