What is Single Malt Corn Whisky?

Single Malt refers to two things: 1. Made in a single distillery; 2. using 100% malted grains. In New Zealand, we can add the grain at the end if the main grain is different to barley. In our case, this was made entirely at Herrick Creek (Single), from 100% malted grains (Malt), using 62.5% malted corn (Corn), and aged at least 2 years in an oak barrel (Whisky).

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.
