Leigh and Bree Attwood are the couple behind Backwoods Distilling Co., based just south of Albury in Yackandandah.

Heritage Rye forms the basis of this four year old expression, along with a portion of malted barley and wheat. Maturation took place in a 200L ex-Whipper Snapper Corn Whisky Cask that held Bright Brewery Stout for 3-6 months. 47% Alc./Vol. Notes from the producers... Nose: Bright fresh cut pine, honey and coffee. Taste: Vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Finish: Long and sticky with a late touch of spice.

Our stout has sturdy base, which comes courtesy of pale, crystal and roasted malts. International hop varieties lend bitterness and a lick of spice, while brown sugar adds notes of molasses and caramel. It pours coffee black, with a nutbrown collar.

To drink, it’s full and silky, with mild roasty notes and a sweetness that lingers politely on the palate…'cause sometimes only a stout will do.

An easy drinking Stout with notes of coffee, roasted malts and cocoa. Dark, smooth and roasty.
