Ester Young & Henrys 9 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 700Ml

Ester Young & Henrys 9 Year Old Single Malt Whisky 700Ml One of a hyper-limited, rare trio of Australian whiskies released in May 2026 as a special collaboration with fellow Sydney Inner West icon, Young Henry's Brewery. The liquid originally started life at Young Henrys back in 2012 before the barrels were left to mature for nearly a decade. Felix Clark of Ester Spirits then stepped in to handle the final production stages, blending, and market release, making this the award-winning distillery's first-ever foray into the world of whisky. Crafted in small batches from Australian-grown malt, then rested for nine years in a tawny casks before a finishing stint in Oloroso and PX. It's a compelling combination that brings together juicy fruit, dark sticky sweetness and a gentle thread of spice. A whisky with plenty going on – a flickering of tropical notes, chocolate-dipped apricots, caramelised banana and soft baking spice carrying through the palate. Full-bodied and generous without being heavy. A good example of complexity that never overwhelms. 700ml / 45% Tasting notes: Green apple and pineapple syrup to start, then chocolate-dipped apricot, medjool dates and caramelised banana. The finish leans dessert-like – brûléed banana, soft allspice and a gentle, lingering warmth.
