Whyte & Mackay - The Thirteen
NZD $50.00
Following a dramatic packaging makeover of its ‘standard’ blend, Whyte & Mackay has introduced a new aged blended expression, namely The Thirteen. This replaces the existing 12-year-old blend, and according to its creator, Master Blender Richard Paterson, “Thirteen may be seen as an unlucky number, but it’s very lucky for our consumers. The extra year that the malt whiskies in this blend have spent maturing in Sherry casks before being married with the grains gives it an extra mellowness and smoothness.” On the nose The Thirteen is more muscular than the ‘standard’ blend, with stewed fruit and Sherry notes. On the palate it is bigger bodied, richer and more Sherried in character. It is pleasingly complex, with spices and nuts and a medium length fruitcake finish.

Sheep Dip Malt Whisky
NZD $91.50
The name came about because British farmers have long referred to whisky as Sheep Dip. There was a time when farmers distilled their own “home-made” whisky and in order to avoid paying taxes to the revenue man hid the whisky in barrels marked “Sheep Dip”.
Farmers' merchants continued this tradition by entering cases of whisky as “Sheep dip” on farmers' bills and so “pulling the wool” over the farmers wives eyes.
Rich, golden copper highlights in colour. Delicate and refined. Soft sensual floral notes arise in perfect harmony supported by an attractive array of complex fruit flavours. Melon, pear and orange with a hint of almonds conclude this profusion of charming nuances. Finesse and elegance gives way to a majestic assertion of pure malty flavours drawn from t...
