The Story
Years ago, in the Willowbank distillery in Dunedin, a batch of whisky was made in the distillery’s column still using unmalted barley. This “single grain whisky” was then blended with 70% of their single malt, and placed into American Oak, ex-bourbon barrels. Twenty-one years later, we have carefully selected casks and bottled them as “High Wheeler”.
