30 Year Old Single Malt Whisky Review | The New Zealand Whisky Collection

The New Zealand Whisky Collection has been slowly releasing single malts from the old, mothballed Willowbank Distillery (or Wilsons Dunedin Distillery). This 30 year old single malt was distilled in New Zealand in 1987 and aged for three decades in American Oak ex-bourbon casks before bottling in 2017 and finally making it to my channel. Join me as I enjoy and review this 30 year old dram, while talking a bit on the history of the Willowbank Distillery and how an Australian beer company ruined it for everyone… sorry guys. Also, special thanks to Michael and Laura Byars from The New Zealand Whisky Collection for presenting their whiskies at our QMWS Nundah tasting, and leaving me with the remaining sample from this bottle.
