Father’s Day is just around the corner, and this year we’re adding something special to the Drinks on the Deck lineup — a beautifully curated Australian whisky gift box featuring Timboon Distillery’s Port Expression Single Malt Whisky (500ml) and three cans of Sodasmith Dry Ginger Ale. It’s the perfect gift for dads, whisky lovers, curious newcomers, and anyone who appreciates handcrafted Victorian spirits.
A Small‑Batch Whisky with a Big Story
Timboon Railway Shed Distillery is one of regional Victoria’s quiet achievers — a small, passionate team making whisky the slow way. Their process is hands‑on from start to finish:
- Malted barley milled on site
- Open fermentation to build complexity
- Small copper pot stills for a clean, expressive spirit
- Maturation in ex‑fortified wine barrels (Port or Sherry), giving the whisky its signature smoothness, gentle smoke and rounded finish
The Port Expression Single Malt has been part of Timboon’s identity since 2007. It’s approachable, warm and full of character — ideal for someone wanting to explore Australian craft whisky for the first time, yet interesting enough for seasoned drinkers.
A Gift That Feels Thoughtful, Generous and Versatile
We’ve paired the whisky with three cans of Sodasmith Dry Ginger Ale, a crisp, lightly spiced mixer that complements the fortified‑cask richness beautifully. It gives the recipient options:
- Add a splash to bring out the whisky’s spice
- Create a classic highball:
- 60ml Timboon Port Expression
- Top with Sodasmith Dry Ginger Ale
- Pour over ice
- Finish with a slice of orange
It’s refreshing, balanced and perfect for warm afternoons, long lunches or an easy evening drink.
