Scapegrace Vanguard Single Malt

Scapegrace Vanguard is a pioneering New Zealand single malt that captures the spirit of its Central Otago origin. Crafted from native barley and fresh glacier water, this single malt is matured in virgin French oak casks, uncoloured, non-chill-filtered, and bottled at 46% ABV.

On the nose, Scapegrace Vanguard offers inviting aromas of poached pear, vanilla custard, coconut biscuits, and subtle manuka smoke. The palate is elegant and layered, combining fruit sweetness, honeyed cereal, gentle spice, and a hint of coastal salinity, culminating in a refined, well-balanced finish.

Awarded Best New Zealand Single Malt at the 2025 World Whiskies Awards, Vanguard is a standout expression of modern craft whisky—bold yet graceful, and unmistakably Kiwi.
