The Timboon Railway Shed Distillery is located in Timboon, The Otways in the state of Victoria Australia. The railway shed dates back to the 1800’s and has been beautifully restored with many original features maintained. The owner and distiller Josh Walker produces a lovely spirit from rather small copper pot stills. Josh grew up in Timboon and started his own farm contracting business at the age of 17. Move forward several years and the passion for whisky lead to the purchase of the distillery. Having traveled the well worn whisky paths across Europe and America, learned the trade and experienced first hand the boom in the world wide trend to drinking premium spirits, Josh is now a respected member of the rapidly growing Australian single malt distilling industry.
This Smoky 1881 is created using Scottish Peat used to give the barley a smoky taint, this whisky has been aged in 200 litre American oak, ex tawny port barrels.
