NZ Whisky Company 'South Island Single Malt' 40% - 500ml
Type Single Malt
ABV 40%
Barrel American Oak, Ex-Bourbon
500ml
South Island Single Malt, distilled from malted New Zealand barley, aged in American ex-bourbon barrels for 5 years. This non-peated single malt has been slowly maturing in our seaside bond store in Oamaru.
Deep honey comb and orange in colour. Well balanced with light fruity notes, soft spice and creamy malt flavours, this lovely single malt whisky is easy drinking and delicate. A pleasant wee drop to sip!
Notes
Nose Sweet malted grain, tangerine & mandarine zest. Honey with a fine, mild vanilla.
Palate Fat, slightly oily mid palate with caramel and light citrus fruits.
Finish Long, smooth finish with soft spices.
--------THE PRODUCER--------
The New Zealand Whisky Co.
In 1997 the last whisky distillery in New Zealand was closed down, and the hundreds of barrels of Cask Strength whisky auctioned off or mothballed. In 2010, we bought the last 80,000 litres in 443 barrels from what had previously been stored in an old airplane hangar. The whisky now resides in the towering seaside bonds store in Oamaru. These are exceptionally rare drams from what was once the world’s southern-most distillery.
