Description

This is the second coming of one of our most sought-after single cask bottlings.  The Zeitgeist first edition was released in Feb 2018 and over the years has been one of our most ‘searched-for’ whiskies worldwide from the Thomson portfolio.

Meanwhile our Head Distiller Mathew Thomson thought to put down more spirit in the same Zeitgiest style, replicating the spec and maturation process. The result was worth the wait. We are now thrilled to release a 2nd edition of this succulent single malt whisky. Enjoy!

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Thomson Whisky

Thomson love what they do; making craft whisky for the modern enthusiast. After a few years mucking about on a home still and learning as much as we could about whisky  they began the Thomson Whisky project as Independent Bottlers. They got hold of a few barrels of aged single malt from Willowbank Distillery, Dunedin, carefully selected to their personal tastes, to launch under the Thomson name. They started telling people about their whisky, sharing a drink with friends, then bartenders, and shops and people travelling overseas and their project started firing. A few years down the road and things have changed a lot. They are now distilling themselves like mad out in West Auckland.
