New Zealand Whiskies: Malts of the Long White Cloud

We've seen a lot of interesting things happening in the Kiwi whisky scene of late, with some impressive releases from both new and established New Zealand distilleries. To take us on a journey through the past, present and future of New Zealand whisky, this event will be presented by our own Kiwi Comrade Aydin Coskun and the crew from Waiheke Whisky joining us in person from across the ditch for the first time. 

We'll get to taste some very well-aged whiskies from the old-school of New Zealand distilling, as well as some new special releases from tiny craft producers like Waiheke. Like every whisky-producing nation, New Zealand is developing its own unique style of whisky, with patterns starting to emerge, like the use of wine casks and manuka wood, to set them apart from the rest of the world. Come see what our Kiwi cousins are up to!
