Cantankerous: Quick-tempered, argumentative and stubborn.
An interesting name for the superlative release from Waiheke Whisky, a limited edition, double distilled, triple cask aged, multi award winning example of excellence.
But the more you enjoy this decadent dram, the more fitting you discover this name to be. Quick-tempered for the way in which the vanilla, caramel and light spice from the initial maturation in virgin American oak quickly makes itself known on the nose and palate. In argument with this, the refill bourbon cask layers corn sweetness on top, perfectly mellowing out the virgin oak. Finally, the muscat cask finish stubbornly dominates the long and moreish finish with lingering notes of ripe red fruit and treacle.
Well worthy of its Best In Class at The 2024 Drammy's, New Zealand's Whisky Awards, and it's Double Gold at the NZ Spirit Awards, this whisky is not to be missed out on.
Waiheke Whisky are at the forefront of New Zealand's growing whisky scene, producing multiple award winning expressions on the beautiful Waiheke Island, sticking to their tried and true ethos of using just 3 ingredients since their inception in 2010.
