Our most peaty whisky is coming, and how you can sample it now.
Carbon preserved in whisky.
It's no secret we are lovers of peat and Waiheke's mission has to been to produce the finest New Zealand peated whisky.
Since November 2023, we have been making our unique style of peated spirit in the new distillery. New Stills and a new mash, working with Alan Winchester we created a sweet, smoky profile that is truly unique and delicious. It's still the NZ peat profile you have come to love in our previous products, but with a lot more peat.
We affectionally call this spirit Altered Carbon, and over the last year we have been sampling the casks monthly to assess its progress. We are so excited about it we can't wait to share. The feed back from industry experts has been so encouraging we thought we'd let you in on it.
How can I get to taste this?
There are 2 ways, either come to the distillery, where we offer a tasting of our 1 year old progression in our peated tasting flight, or you can win a 200ml cask strength bottle in our pre xmas competition.
