700ml, 53.14% ABV/VOL
Named after a cask that fell three metres and miraculously stayed intact, this Port Rum cask matured whisky is as bold and resilient as the Tasmanian creek it honours. Full of character, with a warm, spiced richness worth the risk.
Matured in seasoned oak that first cradled Portuguese Port for over two decades, then enriched with five years of Bundaberg’s finest rum — this cask brings layered depth, warmth, and a story in every drop.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Dark fruits, brown sugar, and oak spice, with hints of molasses and toasted raisin.
Palate: Full-bodied and warming, with layers of port spice, rum-soaked dried fruits and cherries, unfolding into soft caramel over a rich malty base.
Finish: Long and lingering. Dry spice fades into sweet port richness, with a touch of barrel char and dark chocolate.
COLLECTOR NOTES
Tumble Down Creek is named after a moment that nearly stopped our hearts. During a routine cask tasting, one barrel slipped and plummeted three metres to the ground. Time stood still. Head Distiller John and Co-Founder Tim feared the worst. But like the rugged landscape around Arthurs Lake — where Tumble Down Creek flows — the cask held strong.
Inside, it carried something special. Matured in a single Port Rum cask, this whisky showcases deep, rich character shaped by bold wood and spirit influence. The rum cask brings a gentle molasses sweetness, while the port layers in dark fruit, cherries and warm spice. It’s a whisky forged by time, tension, and a touch of luck.
Only a limited number of bottles exist — rescued from the brink, now ready to be enjoyed. Raise a glass to the ones that take a tumble and still land on their feet.
About Tumbledown Creek
They say Tumble Down Creek was named after a mountain spirit who tripped chasing the wind, tumbling through the highlands and carving the creek in her fall. Flowing into Arthurs Lake, the waters carry echoes of laughter, storm and stillness. Hidden in the folds of Tasmania’s central plateau, this quiet stream has long been a secret of the high country – a place where stories flow as freely as the water.
