Review

This is our first taste of a New Zealand whisky 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 fantastic silky mouth feel that makes you want to go back for more. The caramel spice and wood all make this a whisky to savour.
