When i was just in new zealand we checked out cardrona and grabbed a bottle of their single malt vodka.. very similar in taste to a low wines final spirit run of the ffv after left alone for a few months. They were great to talk to and i happy to answer any questions i had. We popped our heads into pretty much every hbs we could find over there and i reckon most places stock oak of some kind.

There is also a distillery in blenheim called Prenzel i think which may be forthcoming with info and apparently a really good hbs in Nelson.

You lucky fella, we spent 28 days there and decided we'd happily move there if my industry paid better.
