I have wanted to make a Manuka Smoked Single Malt Whisky since before I even started building my still.
If you are not from New Zealand you have probably heard of Manuka honey. But did you know its a very common wood to smoke with here? I have always wanted to use this quintessential New Zealand ingredient in a spirit.

Just in case you didn’t realize I often include affiliate links in my videos and descriptions.
This will not change the price for you at all, But the seller will buy my a cup of coffee if you purchase from one of the links. Choice eh?
The grist is 100% Gladfield Manuka Smoked Malted Barley. This is going to give a very large smoke flavour, but if its too much I can always blend it later on.
The actual distilling was fairly straight forward. 1 strip run followed by a spirit run including the low wines and the rest of the wash.
The more interesting part was the blending, trying to find a direction to take the profile of this whisky.
