Two Tone refers to the two kinds of cask used for the maturation of this sophisticated Kiwi whisky, European oak which formerly held New Zealand red wine and American white oak used exclusively for whisky. Find sea air and caramelised fruits on the nose, followed by red berries, apricot and a soft, spicy clove flavoured finish. Thomson started with just 2 barrels purchased from the old Willowbank Distillery in Dunedin, now they hand craft superb blended whiskies and quality single malts. Only hand made copper stills are used at their boutique Distillery in Riverhead and 3 ingredients; quality malted barley, pure water and yeast. The Thomson team wanted to give New Zealanders a whisky they could be proud of and I think they have achieved that goal. For Thomson small is beautiful and that means they can do it they way they like to, there are no big corporate dictates. As Matt Thomson says they are "committed to quality over volume. We make craft whisky for the modern enthusiast." Cheers to that, Matt and team.
