Bourbon Whiskey

This is our bourbon NZ range: American whiskey made with at least 51% corn mash, aged in new charred oak barrels, and bottled at a minimum of 40% ABV. All bourbon must be made in the USA. You'll find everyday Kentucky staples alongside small-batch bottles and cask-strength releases.

Which Bourbon Suits You

Start with proof and mashbill. Higher-rye bourbons taste spicier and drier, while high-corn leans sweeter. Jim Beam 700ml is a solid everyday choice at standard 40% ABV. Want more kick? Wild Turkey 101 sits at 50.5% and brings bold rye character. For collectors, Maker's Mark Cask Strength delivers barrel-proof intensity at 54.35%. If you're after oak influence, Jim Beam Double Oak spends extra time in a second barrel. Browse the best bourbon NZ has stocked and pick what fits your palate.
