NZ Whisky Co. 18 YO Oamaruvian Cask Strength Single Cask Release
NZ Whisky Co. 18 YO Oamaruvian
The NZ Whisky Co. 18 YO Oamaruvian is your opportunity to own or gift a cask strength single cask release bottled exclusively for The Whisky Show 2019. Only 210 bottles were released, each individually numbered and presented in a gift box.
The expression is a blend of 70% single malt, and 30% grain whisky produced from unmalted barley, matured for 6 years in ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in French Oak NZ wine barrels for another 12 years. DoubleWood casks chosen for their rich toffee, floral nose and creaming soda mouth-feel with a hint of Oamaru sea spray to finish.
The nose leads with bold port-soaked raisins followed by dark cherries and cloves while the palate is dominated by dried fruits, cherries and strawberries, intertwined with almonds and nutmeg. The whisky finishes dry with lingering spices and underlying tannins.
