Overview

 The Waite 100 Whisky was produced to highlight the contribution from the Waite in the agriculture and beverage industries over the last 100 years.

The grain used was a barley variety, Compass, which was bred and developed at the Waite. This barley was grown by South Australia farmers and malted by Coopers Maltings.  The Whisky was fermented and distilled at the Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory at the Waite.  It was aged in French and American oak wine barrels and finished in a bourbon barrel, kindly donated by the Independent Stave Company.
