Craftsman Reserve 2025 Bourbon is here!
Bottles are now being dispatched and they’re moving fast. Of the original 500 bottles produced exclusively for the RAEME Association, we estimate only around 190 remain available for purchase — once they're gone, they're gone.
This year, our mates at Milton Distillery have lifted the bar again, experimenting with a refined mash to create a one-off bourbon crafted just for RAEME made from Australian Corn mash!. Expect a floral nose with hints of honey and vanilla, rolling into a warm, spiced finish a fitting tribute to the artisans of our Corps.
Raise a glass to exceptional craftsmanship and the spirit of those who always strive for perfection.
