Thomson New Zealand Single Malt Whisky - Manuka Smoke
Special features: The Thomsons pursue an innovative path in New Zealand whisky production with their Manuka Smoke Single Malt. Founded in 2014 in Riverhead, the small craft distillery combines local ingredients with traditional craftsmanship – including two copper pot stills and aging in bourbon and wine casks. The whisky gets its pronounced smoky aroma from smoking the malt over native Manuka wood, a New Zealand myrtle species known for its characteristic notes of smoke, cinnamon, and ethereal Manuka oils.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Spicy smoke with hints of cinnamon, cloves, and fresh Manuka notes.
Palate: Expressive maltiness meets sour and woody components, accompanied by sweet vanilla.
Finish: Long-lasting with earthy smoky nuances and a fine, spicy zest.
Distillery/Bottler: Thomson Whisky was founded by Mathew and Rachael Thomson, who developed their own distillery from independent bottlers. Their location in Riverhead on New Zealand's North Island is also the hub for connecting local ingredients and innovative whisky production. They place special emphasis on using local malt from the South Island as well as the careful combination of aging techniques and flavors, which has already been awarded multiple times.
