A full-bodied New Zealand single malt with tropical fruit, creamed honey, roasted nuts, toffee and warm spice, matured beside the sea in Oamaru.
Ōamaru Single Malt is the house whisky of The New Zealand Whisky Collection, named after the North Otago town where the collection’s casks are matured.
Distilled at the Dunedin Distillery using South Island barley, the whisky is aged in American oak ex-bourbon and ex-rye barrels. Its maturation in the seaside Oamaru bond store contributes a lightly salty character that complements its creamy texture and tropical fruit flavours.
The aroma brings together barley, ripe banana, tangerine, papaya, cream caramel and lemon pie. Creamed honey, macadamia, hazelnut, butter and white pepper follow on the full-bodied palate, leading to a long, oily finish with lingering toffee and barley.
