What was New Zealand's first whisky distillery?
Willowbank in Dunedin, where the Baker family began distilling in December 1969 and released Wilson’s whisky in 1974. Seagram later bought it and sold the whisky as Lammerlaw, named after a nearby mountain range. Production stopped in 1997, and the stills were sold to Fiji to make rum.
What is Milford whisky?
Milford is old Willowbank single malt. When the Dunedin distillery closed in 1997, the New Zealand Whisky Company bought the last 433 barrels and stores them in a seaside warehouse in Oamaru. It releases them gradually as Milford single malt and as the Prestons blend.

Besides Willowbank, Southern Distillers in Timaru made The MacKenzie and The Coaster, and brewer John Fitzpatrick began laying down whisky at Kaiapoi in 1996. The New Zealand Whisky Company team founded the Thomson distillery in 2014, and Cardrona, in the Cardrona Valley, opened on 25 January 2016.
