This July, whisky lovers can indulge in a special treat at the 23rd Street Distillery in Renmark, South Australia. An exclusive Whisky Degustation Dinner is set for July 12th, and offers an intimate evening for those passionate about whisky and gourmet food.
The dinner features a curated four-course menu by Executive Chef John Spilios, designed to complement the distinct flavours of Australian whisky. Each dish will be paired with unique whisky cocktails, providing guests a sophisticated dining experience that highlights the craft of local distilling.
The distillery’s restaurant prides itself on embracing local Riverland produce and infusing it with artistic flair to create memorable meals. This dinner will be no different.
Head Distiller Paul Burnett, renowned for his expertise and creative approach to distillation, will provide insights into the art of whisky making. Guests will learn about the processes that go into creating award-winning spirits, all while savouring the complex flavours of the drinks and dishes served.
After a successful career in winemaking, Burnett found his passion in distilling, contributing to 23rd Street Distillery’s top-rated Australian Single Malt Whisky. The distillery collaborates closely with local experts, such as brewer Jeff Wright, to perfect the base beer used in the whisky, which plays a crucial role in developing the spirit’s signature taste.
Burnett reveals that while some purists may prefer their whisky neat, there is no ‘right’ way to enjoy it. He personally opts for a slight dilution, “I like to add a tiny bit of water to have it at about 35 per cent – which is about one-fifth purified water with four-fifths whisky – so I can experience all of the aromatics and flavour.”
23rd Street Distillery has a rich history, initially established as a site for winemaking almost a century ago. Over the years, it has evolved into a leading distillery known for its quality spirits and innovative approach. Located at the picturesque junction of the Murray River in Renmark, the distillery combines a love for traditional brewing arts with modern distillation techniques.
