Volume: 700ml           ABV: 46%           Age: No Age Statement            Country: New Zealand

The Thomson Whisky Triple Tipple New Zealand Single Cask Cask 17 is a unique and intriguing whisky that showcases the innovative spirit of Thomson Whisky. This distillery, located in Riverhead, New Zealand, is known for its commitment to crafting exceptional single malt whiskies that reflect the unique terroir of New Zealand.

The Triple Tipple is a special release that highlights the distillery’s experimentation with triple distillation, a method more commonly associated with Irish whiskey. This process results in a lighter and more refined spirit, which is then matured in a single American oak ex-bourbon barrel (cask #17). This cask imparts flavours of vanilla, honey, and spice, complementing the delicate fruitiness of the whisky.

Thomson Whisky is dedicated to using 100% New Zealand grown malted barley, and this expression is no exception. The barley is un-smoked, allowing the natural flavours of the grain to shine through. The whisky is bottled at 46% alc/vol, non-chill filtered, and with no added colour, ensuring a pure and natural taste experience.
