Wilson (Willowbank) Distillery
The Wilson’s Dunedin Distillery, also known as Willowbank Distillery, it has been dismantled and the bits sold off in 2000. AT its time Willowbank was the most southerly whisky distillery in the world. Whiskys were bottled as Milford and Lammerlaw (named after a nearby mountain range) and were highly regarded. The remaining barrels of Lammerlaw have been bottled into their own label. The New Zealand Single Malt Whisky Company have secured the remaining single malt stocks that are still ageing in barrels. The Milford Brand was created to showcase this fine, limited edition, single malt. The distilling equipment at the Willowbank Distillery has since been dismantled. They hope to start distilling again in the future, and are looking forward to seeing the industry flourish around the country yet again.
