Scapegrace Vanguard

The Scapegrace Vanguard from New Zealand is a slightly sweeter small batch bottling from the New Zealand distillery, which is located exactly at the coordinates 45.0194° S, 169.2153° E, on the 45th parallel. On this line between the equator and the South Pole, the country's largest distillery benefits from the climatic conditions. Hot summers and cold winters ensure that the barrels, which are stored near Mount Pisa and Lake Dunstan, mature in a very special way. Scapegrace follows the "field to bottle" approach and therefore uses local barley smoked over manuka wood and fresh glacier water. The New Zealand Vanguard single malt was matured in the distillery's typical fresh French oak barrels before being bottled without the addition of colour or chill-filtering.
