Waiheke Whisky traces its roots back to 2010, when a group of passionate locals on Waiheke Island began experimenting with small-batch distillation. What started with a handmade still and a few barrels has grown into a respected boutique distillery known for its craftsmanship and sense of place. Using New Zealand-grown barley, local peat and pure volcanic spring water, every whisky is shaped by the island’s natural resources and the dedication of the team behind it.
The distillery’s coastal location plays a defining role in the whisky’s character. Salt-laden breezes, gentle maritime temperatures and a range of carefully selected casks - from ex-bourbon to wine-seasoned oak - give each expression its unique profile. Whether peated or unpeated, their whiskies reveal layers of soft smoke, mineral depth, sweet malt and subtle fruit, reflecting the island’s distinctive climate and terroir.
Waiheke Whisky remains committed to authenticity, experimentation and hands-on craft. Every bottle captures the wild, coastal spirit of the island and the meticulous attention to detail that goes into each stage of production. For whisky lovers seeking a true New Zealand single malt with character, provenance and personality, Waiheke Whisky stands as one of the country’s most compelling expressions.
