Dear Members,
For this month’s tasting, the Events team is taking you on a journey to the southern hemisphere as we explore the dynamic world of New Zealand craft whisky! We are thrilled to welcome the Mat from Thomson Whisky for an exclusive look at the pioneer of New Zealand’s modern whisky movement.
Hailed as the first of the new wave of New Zealand distilleries, Thomson Whisky is currently NZ’s most awarded whisky distillery. Driven by a passion for traditional methods adapted for contemporary ends, Thomson focuses strictly on quality over volume—utilising what is in abundance around them to capture "New Zealand in a glass."
From local grain to native wood, Thomson’s obsession with local materials and climate has reshaped modern whisky making. Notably, their signature Manuka Smoke single malt has introduced a brand-new, native smoke profile to the global whisky market that you won't experience anywhere else in the world.
Join us as we explore Thomson's core range of premium single malts and discover how creativity, local craft, and total respect for the process are shaping one of the world's most exciting whisky frontiers.
The following will be on the mat:
Thomson Manuka Smoke Single Malt
Thomson Two Cut Single Malt
Thomson South Island Peated Single Malt
(Insert 2–3 additional lineup/cask samples here)
