Next lowest price in the country is $87.99
Single Grain
A Master Blend of 70% single malt, and 30% premium grain whisky made from unmalted barley in the Dunedin distillery. Aged for 21 years in American oak, ex-bourbon casks.
The Story: Years ago, in the Willowbank distillery in Dunedin, a batch of whisky was made in the distillery’s pot-stills 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”.
