Family-run by Stuart and Naomi McIntosh, Chief’s Son is known for building flavour from the grain up, combining technical precision with hands-on craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this Barrel Lane release, Chief’s Son has drawn from its early in-house Apera cask program, using French oak casks sourced from nearby Dromana Estate Winery. Previously used for wine, then seasoned with Chief’s Son’s own fortified Apera and reworked with a heavy toast and char, these casks have helped shape a rich, sherried single malt with depth and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a beautifully layered whisky, with almond, apricot and marzipan on the nose, followed by sweet fruit, roasted nuts, baked toffee and creamy butterscotch on the palate. A long, smooth finish carries mellow spice, soft oak and a subtle touch of leather.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h2\"\u003eJUNE 2026 FEATURED WHISKY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"h3\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eChief’s Son Distillery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMornington Peninsula, VIC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBarrel Lane Member's Price $185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSingle Malt Whisky • 45% ABV • 700ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Barrel Lane Whisky Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53299624739113,"sku":"WHI-CHI-DRO-APE-700ML","price":185.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/4017\/1049\/files\/06.26_BLWC_Chief_sSon_Dark-006.jpg?v=1779768246","url":"https:\/\/barrel-lane.com.au\/products\/double-up-junes-whisky-2026-copy","provider":"Barrel Lane Whisky Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
