Southward White Smoke W.S.K.Y 2023

Southward White Smoke W.S.K.Y is a bold and unconventional grain-based spirit, distilled in small batches in Wellington. Inspired by traditional whisky-making but not bound by it, this unaged W.S.K.Y offers full flavour without time in barrel. Crafted with rye and barley, and finished with house-infused smoke, it’s a rebellious twist on classic whisky flavours—bottled with attitude and intent.

Aroma
Lifting aromas of smoked grain, charred vanilla pod, cracked black pepper, and a savoury campfire note. There's an earthy depth that hints at its rye backbone.

Palate
Distinctively smoky and surprisingly smooth, with flavours of roasted malt, burnt sugar, sweet spice, and a hit of mesquite. The finish is clean but lingering, with a smoky snap that makes it ideal for creative cocktails or sipping with contemplation.

Serving Suggestions
Enjoy neat or over a single cube to let the smoke unfold. Also shines in a smoked Old Fashioned or paired with ginger ale and a lemon twist. For the adventurous, try it in a smoky espresso martini.

Cellaring
As an unaged spirit, it’s designed for immediate enjoyment. Keep sealed and away from light to maintain freshness.
