Dusky Corn Whisky - Batch DS1

Herrick Creek Inaugural Whisky Release - New Zealand's First Corn Whisky

500ml | 46%abv | 92 proof | Only 90 Bottles | SOLD OUT

Made from malted corn, malted barley, and malted wheat, this South Island Corn Whisky is the first ever aged Corn Whisky to be released in New Zealand. Made from 100% Canterbury malted grains and aged in Christchurch for over 2 years. 

We distilled this whisky with the intention of releasing it young. We kept the middle of the heart cut, and the ageing process has been carefully crafted for the profile we wanted. Batch DS1 is a mix of two five gallon new American oak barrels that have been mixed together in a single European oak barrel. Unfiltered.

Notes: Spiced cake, sweet caramel, toffee, chocolate, corn, vanilla, dark coffee.

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.
