Hand-filled Single Malt Batch 2 is ready, and it’s called Sunshine Valley.

Our distillery exclusive hand-filled peated Single Malt is bottled at 52.8%, and Pat’s verdict: plenty of perfume and citrus fruit on the nose, a lovely oily texture, and all that New Zealand peat coming through.

Batch 1 was gone in about two weeks, so get in quick and fill your own bottle straight from the cask.

Our oldest wh**ky is nearly ready. 🥃

Pat pulled a sample of our 11 year old spirit straight from the cask. It spent most of its life in ex-Bourbon before moving last year into a PX Apera cask that previously held our peated wh**ky. The result is very dark, with caramel and raisin on the nose. Smooth and sweet on the palate, with a little peat smoke at the end that most people won’t even notice. We’re aiming to bottle by the end of the year, so watch this space.

Some dads say they don’t want anything for Father’s Day. They’re lying.

This year, skip the socks. Our distillery shelves are stocked, and if you don’t know which one to choose, our Father’s Day Triple Pack brings together three of our single malts in 200ml bottles: Moss, Seris 2 and The Sweetwater.
One bottle or one discovery pack, either way it’s a good family afternoon sorted.

And if you can’t make it to Waiheke, we offer free shipping on all orders over $149 from our online shop.
Because good wh**ky shouldn’t cost extra to get to the door.

Order by 20 August or you might miss out.

Seris 2 doesn’t do subtle. Its name comes from the Al Idrisi map, and its place in the history of the word “Sherry” itself.

Peated New Zealand malt from Gladfield, double distilled in copper pot stills, first matured in STR American oak w**e barrels before finishing in PX Apera casks.

Glazed orange peel, citrus, spiced apple and sandalwood on the nose. On the palate, butterscotch, raisins and fruit cake sit alongside a touch of peat, closing out with a savoury spice finish.

Don’t be shy to try our NZ Spirits Awards Silver medalist. Grab a bottle from our website online.

Sweetwater doesn’t need convincing. Our non-peated expression is aged for five years in STR French oak barrels, before finishing in ex-Bourbon casks.

A flavour profile that talks people out of « I don’t really like wh**ky » more often than we can count.
Honey, orange and vanilla on the nose. On the palate, candied orange, apricot and honeycomb give way to a dry, peppery finish with a touch of lemon and pip.
The French oak tannins hold it together and leave you reaching for the next pour.

Non-peated, easy drinking, still very much ours.

Grab a bottle from our website online or at the cellar door.

Today, we want to honour Myron, who started with us after high school and has since completed his Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD) qualifications. 

Myron worked with us at the distillery and has ably hosted guests and tours for four years and is now Cellar Door Manager. He returns for a three-month stay at the end of the year and will then leave to pursue further study overseas. 

Myron we are so proud of you and we wish you all the best for the things to come.
We will miss you dearly here at Waiheke. 🥃

Before a drop of wh**ky goes in, the cask has to be right.

We are incredibly grateful to have Mike on loan from our friends at Pokeno Wh**ky where he is the full time cooper to come help us.
Mike was re-coopering ex-bourbon barrels yesterday. That means taking them apart, repairing damaged staves, and rebuilding them from the ground up. It’s one of the less talked about parts of making wh**ky, and one of the most important.

The cask does a lot of the work. Up to 70% of a wh**ky’s final flavour comes from the wood it rests in. So we take this part seriously.

Swipe for the video. Turn the sound up and enjoy the ASMR sound of re-coopering.

New wh**ky is filling these barrels soon. Check back in a few years.

Thanks again Mike & Pokeno Wh**ky 🙏

Well, that was a good Tuesday.

We launched Altered Carbon at yesterday as part of Auckland Cocktail Week. Two hours of tastings, good conversation, and Penicillin cocktails that did exactly what they were supposed to.

If you missed it, Altered Carbon is now pouring at select bars across Auckland. Ask for a Waiheke Wh**ky Altered Carbon Penicillin on your next night out. IYKYK 😉
