WW RELEASE NO. 03
NZ SINGLE MALT WHISKY [NON-PEATED]
41% ABV | 700ml Bottle
NON-CHILL FILTERED | NO ADDED COLOUR

The Sweetwater is a delicious, easy-drinking whisky - the perfect introduction to our non-peated range.

With new make crafted from Cryer NZ Ale Malt, this whisky has been aged for five years, with the majority of the ageing process taking place in STR French oak barrels, followed by a finish in ex-Bourbon barrels.

On the nose, The Sweetwater presents a sweet bouquet of honey, orange, and vanilla.

The palate begins with notes of candied orange, apricot, and honey comb, leading to a dry, peppery finish with hints of lemon and pips. It's not cloying and the tannins from the French oak barrels provide a satisfying finish that leaves you wanting more.

Presented with an ABV of 41%, non-chill filtered and no added colour.
