Golden Oldies Tasting Set

Batch 002 Release, all new bottlings, including a heavier peat on the Moss.

In the vein of 'your best is yet to come' Golden Oldies revisits three of Waiheke Whisky’s gold medal-winning first releases, and a fourth whisky, shipping now.

The set includes new barrels of even older, wiser & richer Moss, Seris 1 and The Sweetwater. These are joined by the Dramfest-special Dyad II: Peat + Port.

Unboxing is an experience in itself. The sleeve features golden-hue rocks from Waiheke Islands Fossil bay. Remove the sleeve and our box appears, which is adorned with bespoke Waiheke Whisky designs with their own meaning.

The box unlocks to the Tasting Mat, set up each whisky on the mat and read the tasting notes and their detailed distilling process as you taste. For more information on the Whisky's included keep scrolling!

All our whisky is presented from the barrel, non-chill filtered and no added colour. You can purchase 700ml bottles too here.

Our commitment to sustainable Whisky

Making whisky is not just about good liquid. Sustainability is not just a buzz word

Making whisky in 2022 is not just about good liquid, we have a chance to break convention and innovate for a better future. Sustainability is not just a buzz word. Questions we asked about whisky were ....Why ship heavy bottomed glass bottles weighing over a kilo around the world? Why glue cork onto plastic just so you can get an extra sensation opening the bottle? Can we use recycled glass? How can we encourage reuse?

Expert testimonials

"Their new-make is remarkable. It’s one of the few whiskies where you can really taste the new-make DNA in the whisky. Springbank is the perfect comparison"

— Joshua Hatton (One Nation Under Whisky)

"The smoke is ember-like; aromatic and earthy. It’s a Seamus Heaney poem in liquid form. All have clarity and sweetness not muddied confusion. These are extraordinarily assured whiskies."

— Dave Broom

"...a dram of poise and balance. The combination of peated spirit, re-charred oak and Pedro Ximenez sits very well together. New oak and dark fruits sherry tempered with fragrant smoke."

— Neil Murphy
