Kia Ora! From our SOLD OUT highlight whisky of 2023 we are off again to the land of the long white cloud for another of NZ’s finest whiskies – This time a SINGLE CASK expression – The Thomson Whisky Cask Ninety Four – bottled EXCLUSIVELY for you! Now you may remember that back in 2023 we released the celebrated Thomson Manuka Smoke Whisky into Australia –to say we got some positive feedback is an understatement. In fact, we got so much excellent feedback that we thought we should try another of their expressions – this one exclusive to the Club! This time around though, we’re going to put Thomsons to test with a classic combination of un-peated, bourbon cask matured whisky. The spirit for this expression was filled in a 200L American oak single ex-bourbon (Jim Beam) cask for 5 years (put down on September 2019) before being disgorged and cut to 46.5% for bottling. Mat Thomson (Head Distiller and Owner) came across the cask when he was doing his monthly barrel survey and flagged it right away. He phoned me and said “this one’s ready. It’s delicious. It’s an early cask of ours so it’s special to share this with you all”. What else could we do but say “Giddy Up Mat”!
