Thomson Whisky

Introducing Allier. A celebration of NZ single malt whisky and one of the most important French Oak forests: Allier. 

This whisky is made from unsmoked New Zealand grown malted barley and has been matured in a second fill wine cask from the Allier forest, central France. Initial grape notes from the wine have been pulled off in the first fill. What?s left, and what has been imparted is beautifully smooth, balanced, and compliments the malty NZ whisky.

The bottling is giving generous notes of pain aux raisin, dark chocolate, custard, hazelnut.

No of bottles: 312 - limited edition

Cask no: 65

Malt: 100% NZ grown, unsmoked.

Cask spec: Second fill, French oak.

This gin is all about Chardonnay, which is combined here with classic and modern gin botanicals. These include juniper, lemon, lemongrass, cardamom, coriander, all beautifully balanced by the big body and weight of Chardonnay, hence the name Blanc de Blancs - white of whites. It?s code for great whites in the wine world and now too in the spirit one.

Heavy botanical style craft gin. Juniper, lemon, lemongrass, cardamom and coriander ? all delicious flavour tones, uniquely decipherable, that hum together with nowhere to hide.

Pondering early rock n? roll, they thought, a few rudimentary instruments working together sound great ? so they worked with the basics to get some robust tones going, then turned up the volume. This stripped back approach is how they created Victor Gin.

This stripped back approach is how Thomson created Victor Gin.  In this edition, Thomson introduced mukrut(kaffir) lime. You?ll get all the original Victor Gin botanicals; juniper, lemon, lemongrass, cardamom and coriander, with mukrut(kaffir) lime loud in the mix.

Just in time for Christmas! People have been asking for a cask strength Manuka Smoke bottling for ages… and now it's here. It's called Full Noise, denoting the cask strength abv, and the deeper, more abundant smoke notes. This is a big limited edition, cask strength, single malt.

Cask: American oak ex Bourbon.  

Malt: 100% NZ grown, Manuka smoked.
