Moss, with its full-bodied and smooth taste, serves as the ideal gateway to the wonderful world of New Zealand peat whiskies.
Featuring the same recipe as the original, Gold Medal winning Moss release that has now sold out, Moss Batch 2 is a crowd pleaser with its distinctive flavour courtesy of the complex interplay between the lightly peated malt, the initial maturation in American oak wine barrels (freshly shaved, toasted and re-charred) and the finishing touch of first fill bourbon barrels.
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.
Tasting note
Aromas of jasmine, honey, liquorice, and vanilla bean are perfectly balanced with a touch of cough syrup. On the palate you'll find a smooth and creamy texture that leads to a lasting and well-rounded finish, adorned with notes of spice and sweet fruit and a subtle hint of smoke.
