WHISKY BEYOND
ITS TIME
New Zealands largest independent spirits brand, Scapegrace, has announced the release of its highly-anticipated first whisky, a limited-edition range of Single Malts. The announcement comes off the back of the companys latest NZ $25m distillery project, revealed in Central Otago earlier this year.

Crafted on the edge of the earth in Central Otago, New Zealand, Scapegrace whisky sees the sunrise before the rest of the world. New world whisky from the future. Whisky beyond its time.
With an ambition and obsession to lay down the foundations to produce world class Single Malt Whisky from New Zealand, we have been putting down the fundamentals to reshape the landscape of new world whisky. At the heart of this voyage is our new spiritual home which is perched in the picturesque Central Otago, overlooking Lake Dunstan.

Situated exactly on the 45th parallel (mid-point between the equator and south pole), the site is exposed to extremes in hot and cold temperatures, an optimum environment for aging whisky.

Naturally the pristine water quality, fresh from the Southern Alps was another contributing factor to ensure the quality of our single malt could flourish over time.
The First Release Of Single Malts
As Scapegrace edges closer to revealing its core expression in 2024, the brand will release a small number of rare, interesting Limited Release Single Malt products. Each expression will be released in chronical order and together form a collectible series of individually numbered bottles, never to be repeated. The narrative of each limited release tells the Scapegrace story both poetically and visually.
