New Zealand craft single malt whisky & gin.
Made from NZ grown malted barley, our single malt whiskies embody the pure and unspoilt nature of NZ. Handled with care, using traditional methods, we turn local ingredients into local single malt – unique in every way. Thomson Whiskies harness the spirit of our land
With 2 hand-beaten copper pot stills and 2 gin stills in operation, our distillery hums with all natural ingredients, elbow grease and age old processes of spirits distillation. It's all about a passion for the spirit, creativity, and respect for the craft distilling process.
Our whiskies are made using just 3 ingredients; water, yeast and malted barley. They’re aged in a range of casks including ex-bourbon barrels, NZ red wine casks and some miniatures. Our gins use fresh botanicals, and we’re heavy handed on the juniper, resulting in weighty, flavourful spirit.
This year at Fieldays we will be showcasing our award winning Manuka Smoke single malt, South Island Peat single malt, Two Tone blend, Victor Gin range and more.
We are one of New Zealand's most internationally awarded distilleries and are proud to be contributing to the craft distilling movement in our home country. www.thomsonwhisky.com
