The Thomson New Zealand Single Malt Whisky Manuka Smoke is a unique and limited edition whisky, meticulously crafted with attention to detail by Thomson Whisky New Zealand Ltd. Distilled in 2016, this special whisky carries an ABV of 46% and is presented in a 700ml bottle. It is produced using 100% New Zealand-grown grain, with the malted barley dried using Manuka wood from local trees. This gives the spirit its distinctive smoky flavor, setting it apart from other whiskies. After distillation, the whisky is aged for several years in American whiskey barrels, previously used to mature Jack Daniels whiskey from Tennessee for four or five years. This aging process imparts rich, layered flavors to the whisky, resulting in a well-rounded and complex character with a rich smoky aroma and taste. The flavor profile of this whisky includes notes of cinnamon, clove, and a hint of sweetness. It is a full-bodied and well-balanced spirit with a long finish reminiscent of peated Scotch whisky, yet without the strong peat flavor. The Manuka Smoke offers a unique barbecue-like smoke, paired with sweet honey notes, making it unlike any other whisky experience. As New Zealand whisky is still a burgeoning category with only a handful of distilleries, the Thomson New Zealand Single Malt Whisky Manuka Smoke stands as a rare and exceptional find, sure to impress both whisky connoisseurs and those eager to explore something new.
