Milford Single Malt New Zealand Whisky

Climate, Geography, Geology very similar to Scotland also a lot of Scotts emigrated there.

An ideal place for making whisky it is a shame they demolished the Lammerlaw distillery due to a down turn in the world economy.

Milford... Is a single malt that was distilled and aged in New Zealand's South Island. It was produced at the Willowbank Distillery in Dunedin.

This distillery was established around 30 years ago by some Dunedin businessmen of Scottish heritage.

The distillery was latterly owned by Seagram who produced the New Zealand single malt that was originally sold under the "Lammerlaw" brand.

Lammerlaw was discontinued when Seagram sold the stocks and the Willowbank Distillery around two years ago.

The New Zealand Single Malt Whisky Company have secured the remaining single malt stocks that are still ageing in barrels. The Milford Brand was created to showcase this fine, limited edition, single malt.

The distilling equipment at the Willowbank Distillery has since been dismantled.

Milford Single Malt is similar in style to the Lowland malts of Scotland, lighter in body and aroma than the malts of the highlands - elegant with a delicate nose, soft citrus in flavour and a very smooth finish.
