Waubs Harbour
Waubs Harbour Founders Reserve
The pinnacle of Waubs Harbour’s range, Founder’s Reserve is drawn exclusively from the distillery’s highest-rated ex-Tawny Port casks and bottled at full cask strength of 62%. This uncompromising release captures the whisky in its purest form — rich, oily, and brimming with maritime character. Expect decadent layers of sultanas, orange zest, and sticky date pudding, accented by hints of chocolate and waffle cone, before a long, mouth-coating finish of gooey salted caramel.
With only limited numbers released each year, Founder’s Reserve has become Waubs Harbour’s most prestigious bottling, with the very first bottle ever auctioned selling for $4,800. Recently recognised with a Silver Medal at the World Whiskies Awards 2025 (Single Malt, 12 Years & Under), it stands as one of Tasmania’s boldest cask strength whiskies — dessert in a glass, crafted for serious collectors and cask strength devotees.
