Tria Prima Spirit

Tria Prima Distillery in Adelaide Hills, Australia, is run by Paul and Trang Shand. They blend old alchemy ideas with modern distilling to make whisky. This approach mixes tradition and innovation.

The name "Tria Prima" comes from an old alchemy term. It refers to three key elements: barley, water, and oak. With yeast, these elements become a spirit. Tria Prima sees this as their version of 'liquid gold'. This is like the alchemists' goal to turn basic materials into gold.

Paul Shand, once a geochemist, applies scientific precision to whisky making. The distillery uses time-honoured methods and local ingredients. They face the challenge of a dry climate. This helps create a unique Spirit of Life. It shows their values of quality and transparency. They use premium South Australian barley. The spirits age in top-tier casks. They produce a limited, high-quality product. It appeals to those who value quality over quantity.

Tria Prima's products have names like Enchantress (Apera cask), Bruxa (Tawny cask), and Shaman (bourbon cask). Future products will include Magissa (White wine cask), Warlock (Red Wine Cask), and Seihdr (rum cask). Each name reflects the single malt whisky's style and the cask used for maturation.

The distillery has distinct categories. 'Traditional' release and 'Rebis' range offer different whisky experiences. The 'Traditional' release is 46% ABV. Each batch has a rich, balanced flavour. The 'Rebis' range shows the character of individual casks. It is bottled at natural cask strength. They are developing 'Transfiguration'. This is for connoisseurs interested in the whisky's evolution. They can see it change from new spirit to mature whisky.

Tria Prima invites whisky lovers to join their mystical journey. They turn barley, water, and oak into a special spirit. This is not just to please palates but to reflect on life and tradition. The Stone, symbolising perfection, awaits. It promises a spirited journey for all who seek it at Tria Prima.
