Bold, smoky and beautifully layered, Bunker Distillery’s Peated Single Malt Whisky brings together the distinctive character of peat with the rich sweetness and complexity of sherry cask maturation.
On the nose, aromatic peat smoke leads the way, opening into notes of dried fruit, warm vanilla, caramel and subtle sweetness. The palate delivers a rich malt character balanced by smoky depth, with layers of dark fruit, toasted nuts, warming spice and oak developing as the whisky opens. These characteristics complement the smoky, malt-driven profile associated with Bunker’s peated whisky.
The influence of the sherry cask brings richness and depth, while the peat provides an earthy, smouldering character that carries through to the finish. Bottled at 44% ABV, it offers plenty of flavour and warmth while remaining approachable and enjoyable to sip.
The finish is long, warming and gently smoky, with lingering notes of peat, oak, spice and sherry sweetness.
A distinctive Australian single malt for those who enjoy whisky with character — smoky, rich, complex and made to be savoured.

Single Malt Whisky
Single Malt Whisky represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship in the world of spirits. Defined by its unique production process, this whisky is crafted in a single distillery using malted barley, water, and yeast. Known for its depth of flavour, single malt whisky offers a remarkable range of tasting notes, from the smoky peat of Islay to the fruity and floral notes of the Highlands. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or exploring whisky for the first time, single malt provides an unparalleled journey through tradition and innovation.
Distinguished from other types of whisky such as blended whiskey or grain whisky, single malt offers a purity and complexity that appeals to the discerning palate. Each bottle tells a story, influenced by the distillation process, maturation time, and the barrels used – be it American oak, ex-bourbon, or sherry casks. In fact, many whisky lovers believe single malts capture the essence of the distillery itself, giving you a taste of the region’s history and terroir.
What Sets Single Malt Apart?
While Scotch whisky is often associated with single malt, it’s important to note that Scotch can also include blended varieties. Single malts adhere to stricter guidelines, offering a pure and authentic experience. In contrast to spirits like vodka or bourbon, single malt whisky emphasises a balance of flavour and complexity over a clean finish or sweet notes.
Australia is becoming a key player in the whisky scene, with Australian single malt whisky gaining international acclaim. Using locally sourced barley and innovative techniques, Australian distillers are redefining the boundaries of whisky production. Whether you’re looking for a smoky Islay-style malt or a smooth, fruit-forward Tasmanian dram, there’s a single malt to suit every taste.
What Does Single Malt Mean for Whiskey?
Single malt whisky is made at a single distillery using 100% malted barley. It must follow specific production guidelines to earn the title, ensuring quality and authenticity in every bottle.
What Is the Difference Between Scotch and Single Malt?
Scotch refers to any whisky made in Scotland, including blended varieties. Single malt Scotch whisky, however, is made exclusively from malted barley at a single distillery, adhering to rigorous standards.
Is Single Malt Better Than Blended?
This comes down to personal preference. Single malt whisky is prized for its purity and complexity, while blended whisky combines multiple whiskies for a balanced, accessible flavour.
