Smoked South Island Malt Whisky - Limited Release

Herrick Creek's Inaugural Malt Whisky Release

500ml | 46%abv | 92 proof | SOLD OUT

Introducing our Limited Release Smoked South Island Malt Whisky, a gritty and bold whisky that boasts a strong smoky flavour. Made from 90% peat smoked barley, 5% manuka smoked barley, and 5% unsmoked barley, using only Canterbury malted grains, this one-time release has been aged for 2 years in a small used American oak barrel (ex-Dusky) in Christchurch. This is true South Island Whisky!

We distilled this whisky with the intention of releasing it young, selecting only the middle of the heart cut to ensure a flavourful and memorable experience. Unfiltered and unapologetically smoky, Batch SM1 is not for those who shy away from bold flavours.

As a one-time release, we value your feedback and invite you to try it for yourself. Your opinion will help us decide on future batches. Savour every sip of Batch SM1 and experience the unique smoky character of this exceptional whisky.

Notes from Cameron at Discovering Drams: Sweet, smoky, earthy char, & white pepper on the nose. Oily, NZ Peat up front, followed by sweet Manuka smoke, but not overpowering. Honey & vanilla - long & warming. "Simply fantastic."
