This batch is a Family Reserve release, in honour of distiller Tom's daughter, who was born the month this whisky was created. She will get a couple of these bottles in another 16 years when she turns 18.

What is New Zealand Whisky? 

Made entirely from cereal grain, New Zealand Whisky must be mashed, fermented, distilled, and aged in New Zealand for at least 2 years. "Corn Whisky" has no official designation in New Zealand, but we want to champion it as a whisky made from at least 51% corn.
