About this bottle

Information regarding the Great Outback whisky is scarce. It is believed the spirit was produced between 1960 and 2000, with potential origins spanning from Perth, Western Australia, to Tasmania, a distance of approximately 3500 kilometers. The Corio Distillery, which ceased operations in 1989, has been suggested as a possible source, though this remains unconfirmed. Another possibility, Cawsey Menck in Sydney, also faces questions about its current operational status. Attempts to reach the distillery by phone were unsuccessful, and no web or email contact information is available. While the bottle indicates distillation in Tasmania, no link to that region has been established. It is presumed, based on its flavor profile, that the whisky was matured in American Oak casks. A rumor suggests a connection to the former proprietor of Sullivans Cove, but this is also unverified. The true origin remains a mystery.
