Craft high-end whisky with a rich heritage

For a premium, mature spirit with a story to tell

NEBB Heritage barrels are among the rarest and most sought-after oak casks available to distillers. These whisky aging barrels have been used for 5 to 10 years in the aging of premium Australian fortified wines such as Tawny (Port), Apera (Sherry), and Muscat.

Each NEBB Heritage barrel carries deep, mature flavours that can only come from extended aging. This long-term commitment brings an unparalleled depth of character to whisky, imparting rich notes of dried fruits, nuts, toffee, and spices that create a truly exceptional and distinguished finish.

For distilleries looking to produce high-end, limited-edition whiskies, NEBB Heritage barrels present a unique opportunity to craft spirits with a story. It’s a story that begins in some of the most prestigious Australian wineries and ends in a bottle of extraordinary, intensely flavoured whisky.

By choosing NEBB Heritage, you’re not just selecting an oak cask but embracing a tradition of excellence that elevates your whisky to an elite status. With NEBB Heritage, you’ll create a deeply desired product that stands out in any collection.
