6 months in Barossa Shiraz oak

Rested

6 months oak · 700mL · 40% ALC/VOL

Six months in reconditioned American oak that held Barossa Shiraz first. Long enough to round the edges and lay dried fruit over the top, short enough that the green agave core is still the loudest thing in the glass.

  • Dried fig
  • Soft spice
  • Warm oak
  • Cooked agave
  • IWSC Silver 2024
  • IWSC Bronze 2025

Tasting notes

Oak, without the costume.

Colour
Pale straw with a faint rose cast from the Shiraz cask.
Nose
Dried fig and baking spice first, then cooked agave and a little vanilla underneath.
Palate
Rounder and softer than Silver, with fine red-wine tannin across the middle. The pepper is still there, wrapped rather than removed.
Finish
Medium and warm, drying out into agave and light oak.
Cask
Reconditioned ex-Barossa Shiraz American oak, blister char. Six months.
Serve
Neat, over one large cube, or long with soda.

Six months in ex-Barossa Shiraz oak gives Rested dried fig, soft spice and fine red-wine tannin — enough weight to drink slowly over one large cube with nothing else in the glass. Our Rested cocktail specs are in final tasting and will be published here once they are signed off. In the meantime the cellar door pours it neat, over ice and long with soda.

“Recognizable as agave but it's not Mexico.”
