For this release, Ardbeg used more grist and less water in the mashing stage to increase the concentration of the fermentable sugars.

In the subsequent fermentation stage, this created a fruitier juicer wash, and when distilled, it generated a fruitier style of New Make Spirit.


Colour
Bright Gold

Aroma
An explosion of fruity, estery notes, reminiscent of smoked bubblegum, fuse with whiffs of ripening barley and toasted sourdough bread. A splash of water reveals dense, sweet, and aromatic peat smoke, accompanied by gently smoked tropical fruits.

Taste

A rich, creamy mouthfeel drifts into sharp, sooty and spicy notes of creosote, aniseed, and clove. Tempered by the distinct sweetness of muscovado sugar, robust woody notes orbit rich charcoal.

Finish
Finally, in an almost infinite finish, earthy peat moss fuses with sizzling bonfire embers.

Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon is handcrafted and specially selected by our Master Distillers. A five-time winner of “Whiskey of the Year,” it’s our most premium and decorated Bourbon that measures up to exacting standards. 

Since 1983, the master distiller for Heaven Hill has chosen select barrels for this single barrel series. Each bottle is dated with the vintage date of when the bourbon was distilled along with the year it was bottled. Additionally, each bottle bares a serial number of the barrel from which it was drawn.

The Helmsman white is usually aged for over a year It is aged in stainless steel tanks and plain oak casks, which leads to a light blonde colour and sweet flavour.

Selected from a small number casks that are combined and then bottled at their natural strength, without dilution, this is the 10th edition of Glengoyne's Cask Strength series. With no added water, the flavours are highly concentrated, with the distillery's character of apple fruitiness front and centre,  joining vanilla custard and toffee. At 59.5%, the spicy tones of the wood are elevated, mellowing with a few drops of water to taste.

This exceptional single cask whisky from Bruichladdich, bottled exclusively for New Zealand, offers a truly unique tasting experience. A careful blend of concerto and propino barley, it has been matured for 8 years in second-fill French oak barrels. The result is a whisky that beautifully balances the influence of the wood with the natural character of the barley.

How can something come from nothing?

It is upon this fundamental age-old question that Third Island Vodka is built.

Vodka, by definition, should be as close to 'nothing' as possible - completely devoid of all distinction, character, and individuality.

We disagree. And as it turns out, our answer was around us all along.

Blessed with only pure Stewart Island rain as our water source, our innovative filtration technique incorporates sustainably-foraged paua, mussel, and oyster shells from the pristine Southern Ocean.

A final, polishing touch of free-flowing tannin-rich waters collected off the very rock of Rakiura herself all result in an exquisitely smooth mouthfeel and delicate minerality fully absent of any pronounced additional flavour.

When it comes to vodka, our philosophy has never faltered: A little something makes all the difference, for nothing hardly comes close.

It's our classic Third Island Gin - locally foraged Manuka, Rimu, and Horopito showered in pure Stewart Island rainwater - now of seafaring stature.

In the 18th Century, the Royal Navy began the practice of storing gin rations below deck alongside gunpowder.

As such it was crucial that, should a barrel burst, the wet gunpowder would still ignite in the heat of battle.

Anything under 57.15% - or "gunpowder proof" - was barred from ships, while any gin stronger was welcomed aboard.

And with that, Navy Strength Gin was born.
