Gospel Solera Rye Australian Whisky - Four years in the making, The Gospel comes from the same distilling duo (Ben Bowles and Andrew Fitzgerald) that created boutique hooch brand, Melbourne Moonshine. Produced using single-source unmalted rye from the Murray Mallee region in South Australia, the announcement follows a growing trend for the uptake of rye-based spirits being consumed in Australia which is now the second-largest Bourbon market in the world. The Gospel Distillers have also had a wealth of advisory and brand expertise behind them in the form of director Jamie Duff and brand architect, Kelvin Soh. VC investor and ex-CEO and co-founder of Stolen Rum, Duff, has over six years of experience in the international drinks market and previously worked with Soh to build and design the Stolen Rum brand. Soh, the founder and Creative Director of New Zealand based design agency DDMMYY has been a driving force behind the branding of The Gospel and has a previous track record of guiding the identity of several international spirits brands. The Brunswick-based distillery is currently the largest whiskey distillery in Australia with an output capacity of 369,000L of alcohol per year. It was designed and constructed by The Gospel founders and has been co-funded by a US-based spirit and wine company. Bowles & Fitzgerald utilised backgrounds in engineering and construction to custom design a six-metre-high Column and Copper Pot Still. The Column Still, one of only a handful used in Australia, helps to retain the unique flavours of The Gospel and is the only one designed and built entirely in-house.
Gospel Solera Rye Australian Whisky Tasting Notes: As it stands now plans call for this whisky be what looks to be an Australian only release, bottled at 42.5% ABV. It will be followed early next year a straight rye whisky. Both are produced on a column and copper pot still, said to one of only a handful used in Australia. Limited official tasting notes suggest “caramel and spice on the nose, creme caramel on the palate. Young but already deeply coloured, on the nose this sweeter-styled rye hints at toffee apple, buttered Ryvita, light caramel fudge and low-key muddled mint. Oily yet fresh with good weight and feel, a fanning burst of rye spice leaves you with shades of chocolate box, oily grains and finally, mint sprigs. It's silky and very accessible rye with a winey twist. Try it with dry ginger ale and a slice of orange. 42.5% Alc./Vol.
“With our Solera Rye, we wanted to create a “sessionable’ whiskey – something that can be enjoyed again and again and is available to everyone. We envision it as the drink of the summer, served with dry ginger ale and a slice of orange. The spice & creme caramel flavours work well in the bartender classics like an Old Fashioned or a Sazerac.
