The New Zealand Whisky Company is an Oamaru-based independent bottler founded to preserve and release the remaining casks of whisky produced at the historic Willowbank Distillery in Dunedin — previously known as Wilson Distillers. Willowbank was once New Zealand's most prominent whisky producer, home to well-known brands such as Wilson's and 45 South, before the distillery closed its doors in 1997. The remaining stock is now carefully stored in a seaside warehouse in Oamaru, where the company continues its work of bringing these rare and historic New Zealand whiskies to market. The New Zealand Whisky Company's portfolio spans single malt, grain, and blended whiskies drawn exclusively from these aging Willowbank casks, making each release a genuinely finite and collectible expression. Among its notable bottlings is the Dunedin DoubleWood 10 Year Old, which was matured in American oak barrels for six years before receiving additional aging. The company has also distributed its whisky internationally through partnerships such as with Anchor Distilling, bringing New Zealand whisky to a wider global audience. As a custodian rather than a distiller, the New Zealand Whisky Company occupies a unique position in the world of whisky — preserving a piece of New Zealand's distilling heritage one cask at a time. Its releases are prized by collectors and enthusiasts as authentic windows into a now-silent chapter of Southern Hemisphere whisky history.
