Distilled on 14/05/2018, matured to perfection for the refined whisky enthusiast.
Nestled in South Africa's Eastern Cape, the birthplace of Nelson Mandela, lies the
world-famous "Hole in the Wall." Known as esiKhaleni by the Xhosa people,
meaning "place of noise," the "Hole in the Wall' is a tidal island with a magnificent
natural archway at its center. This colossal archway is believed by many to have
been sculpted by ferocious waves created by whales in the local area.
According to Xhosa folklore, the "Hole in the Wall" is far more than a geological
wonder, it is revered as a sacred gateway to their ancestors.
Much like the waves that shaped the "Hole in the Wall," Whale Tale Whisky is
crafted with patience and purpose. Sip slowly, and savour the stories that bind us
across time and tide.
