Scapegrace Launches New Zealand's Chapter of the Whisky Highball

"this marks a milestone as Scapegrace becomes the first in New Zealand to offer Single Malt Whisky in an RTD"

31/07/24

Scapegrace is proud to launch a limited release of single malt whisky highball RTDs in two flavours. Crafted with 100% locally made Single Malt Whisky, this marks a milestone as we become the first in New Zealand to offer Single Malt Whisky in an RTD, joining a small group of brands worldwide.

Scapegrace's Whisky Pot Still at work, crafting our signature whisky at Scapegrace Distillery in Central Otago.

INSPIRED BY THE STREETS OF TOKYO

Drawing inspiration from the streets of Tokyo and collaborating with local bartenders from the city's most influential cocktail bars.

“The new world whisky movement is strong, and this trend is influenced by bringing consumers into the emerging category via simple, refreshing cocktails. The Whisky Highball is leading this trend, largely driven by this Japanese staple diet who are masters of the cocktail” said Scapegrace Co-Founder Mark Neal.

Distilled using locally grown barley from Christchurch and aged in Virgin French Oak barrels, for a minimum of 3 years.

Just like Scapegrace’s Gin and Vodka RTDs we use 100% handcrafted distilled spirits for all of our RTDs.

“We are using the same super-premium Single Malt Whisky from our luxury spirits portfolio. While it might be more practical to sell it as full-strength whisky, we prefer to push boundaries. This new Highball chapter is an exciting way to introduce people to our new world whisky movement.”

There will only be 1500 cases of each flavour available, so don't miss out.

Scapegrace RTDs are available at all good liquor stores throughout New Zealand.
