Dunedin Double Cask - The New Zealand Whisky Co.
Whisky has been produced in New Zealand since the 1930s.
At that time Scottish emigrants came to the island, who of course did not come to her "Water of Life".
The whisky industry thrived until the 1870s before it was shut down by government regulations.
In the 1950s, whisky production was revived to life.
In 1974, the Willowbank Distillery opened in Dunedin, which produced well-known whiskies such as Wilsons or 45 South.
Willowbank was founded in the 1980s by Seagrams, at that time the world's largest distillery. was bought out and continued to develop successfully under this new management.
The whisky production came to a quick end in 1997 as Seagrams sold the Willowbank Distillery to Fosters, who ceased whiskey production in New Zealand and sent the Willowbank Distillery's stills to Fiji to produce rum.
In 2009 the last 443 casks were sold by the New Zealand Whisky Company founded for this purpose bought.
Tasting Notes: This is how the Dunedin Double Cask tastes
The single malt matured in ex-bourbon casks for three years before being aged in red wine casks for a further 1.5 years from New Zealand.
In this way, the whisky not only developed its amber tone, but also aromas of beeswax and fresh grain, toasted oak and gentle spices with a delicious, long and fruity finish.
