Throughout this role he travelled countless hours, covered thousands of highway miles with a bag full of whisky, educating whisky lovers – He was the Highwayman of Whisky. This role gave him a backstage pass to globally renown distilleries throughout Scotland (especially Islay), Kentucky, Tasmania and Japan. These journeys developed a deeper understanding of production and a big love for maturation of whisky. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2016 Dan started to lay down his own sprit in his chosen casks, collecting the first dozen batches from favourite distillery locations around Australia. He sent them on the highway to coastal Byron Bay, NSW, their new home (and his) where they matured while Dan started acquiring the equipment he needed to produce his own spirit. In a dream come true with an alignment with Lord Byron Distillery, on his own still he started to produce his own spirit in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn mid 2020 he launched Highwayman - his life’s work in a liquid library for all to share. The first few releases were whiskies that were distilled at other distilleries but based on Dan's specifications. In 2021, he finally released whiskies that were 100% distilled by his own hands, on his own stills, as well as fully matured in Byron Bay!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this tasting, we will be tasting some of his most recent releases matched with some classic 70's and 80's metal tracks!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica neue,helvetica,arial,verdana,sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn tasting will be:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6 recent releases (15ml each) matched with classic 70's \u0026amp; 80's metal tracks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCocktail on arrival\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinopera - Fino\/Apera cask\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eE.S.P - single PX sherry cask\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbbey 2026 - Oloroso\/PX sherry \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOde to islay - peated Laph qtr cask\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhantom Dark side - peated PX\/Ale cask\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMystery batch announced on night\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen: Friday, 13th of November 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime: 6pm - 7.30pm\u003cbr\u003eWhere: The Elysian Whisky Bar\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice: $50 per person\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeats are extremely limited, don't miss out!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Elysian Whisky Bar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776893124653,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/0311\/5053\/files\/HighwaymanTasting.jpg?v=1793670217","url":"https:\/\/shop.theelysianwhiskybar.com.au\/products\/highwayman-tasting-metal-malts","provider":"The Elysian Whisky Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
