Review

This is our first taste of a New Zealand whiskey and with our first taste we were blown away. The balance between fruit, spice, sherry and wood is spot on and the finish long, warming and extremely enjoyable. This has a fantasitc silky mouth feel that makes you want to go back for more. The caramel spice and wood all make this a whiskey to savour.

Looking for something a little different for a coneseur, who has tried them all, this will not disapoint. Hopefully they share a dram with you.
