The Single Malt journey has been part of the brand's strategic direction since its creation, with a focus on pioneering the New Zealand Single Malt Whisky movement on the world stage. This focused orientation led Scapegrace to scour New Zealand for the site to create the largest single malt distillery and project. With great ambition to introduce New Zealand Single Malt to the world, we invite you to discover the first Single Cask launched by the Scapegrace distillery, this version has been crafted from locally grown barley dried with Manuka wood, a tree growing up to three meters tall that grows wild in New Zealand.

Nose : lively, dynamic. On the first nose, aromas of varnish and charcoal precede scents of bitter orange, apricot stone and roasted mango. After aeration, spices and peppers (cayenne, clove, cinnamon), dark fruits (blueberry, blackcurrant) and salted butter caramel form a dense second olfactory sequence. Gradually, heather honey spreads across the top of the aromatic palette.

Appearance : cuivre orangé

Palate : rich, heady. Deeply malty, the attack quickly evolves towards honeyed (lavender) and jammy (apricot) notes. In the mid-palate, candied citrus fruits (orange, mandarin) ensure a tasty, lively transition. Heady (mimosa), herbaceous (alfalfa) and empyreumatic (eucalyptus, ylang-ylang), with time the finish returns to the citrus notes mentioned above.

Overall : long, balanced. Venturing at times into the world of American rye whiskeys, the start of the finish is at once nobly woody (stave oak), fruity (caramelized apple, melon), spicy (star anise, saffron) and licorice-like. On the aftertaste, flavors of dark chocolate and candy sugar prolong the tasting experience. Retro olfaction recreates the woody, waxy ambience of a cabinetmaker's shop. The empty glass exhales aromas of beechwood-smoked salmon.
