We are very excited to finally release our next generation of Waitui Single Malt Whiskey. Eight long years mellowing and maturing in Manuka honey mead barrels have resulted in a exquisite drop - a uniquely New Zealand Whiskey in beautiful new packaging, aged to perfection and ready for you to enjoy.

This small batch single malt is one of only a few true honey malt whiskeys produced in the world today. Made using New Zealand malted barley and aged in Manuka Honey Mead oak barrels for no less than eight years the result speaks for itself in a very gentle, smooth and easy to drink whiskey.

Waitui Whiskey goes back to the first aged whiskeys made by monks who only had Honey Mead barrels available to age their malted barley spirit before whiskey became what it is today. In 2002 Kiwi Spirit Distillery began creating our Waitui Whiskey using these revived age old techniques.
