The Oamaruvian by New Zealand Whisky Co. is a 16-year-old single grain whisky distilled at the now-closed Willowbank Distillery. It was matured first in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished in French oak New Zealand red wine casks. Bottled at 58.4% ABV, this whiskey is part of a limited stock and is priced at approximately $110 per bottle.
The palate is as big, if not bigger than the nose. Raspberry jam, strawberries, dark chocolate. Lots of spices and a tad dry. The finish lingers for a long time.
