The NZ Whisky Collection Details
Award winning NZ whisky. Our whisky was distilled in the legendary Dunedin distillery using the finest local barleys and some of the purest water on earth - snow melt from the Southern Alps filtered naturally through the Great Moss Swamp at Middlemarch. Distilling in New Zealand goes back to the earliest Scottish settlers in 1838, and the distilling industry thrived around New Zealand, and particularly in the Dunedin and surrounding Otago region right through until the 1870s, when government influence saw many close down. The large Canadian multi-national Seagrams improved the still and processes after purchasing the distillery in the 1980's, marketing the Single Malts as Lammerlaw, named after a nearby mountain range, the source of the pure water from which the whisky was created. Production ceased in 1997 as Seagrams rationalised their world wide business and the business was sold to Fosters who mothballed the company in 2000, and sent the silent stills to Fiji to make rum! The New Zealand whisky company purchased the last 600 barrels of mainly Lammerlaw malt and the whisky has been maturing in the towering seaside bondstore in Oamaru's famous heritage precinct ever since. These are exceptionally rare drams from the last remaining stock of what was once the world's southern-most distillery.
