Infusing barley with Mānuka smoke is a time-honoured craft — but we’ve gone further, using Mānuka wood in the ageing process to forge a uniquely bold flavour. Bottled in New Zealand with its purest natural water, every drop reflects our commitment to creativity, quality, and craft.
About Us
Laughing Owl the Whisky
Every batch we release is part of this ongoing journey, each one building on the last and creating something uniquely extraordinary.
At Laughing Owl Whisky, we’re crafting more than just a drink—we’re creating a story. A story of bold innovation, rich heritage, and an untamed spirit that spans continents and generations.
What began as a solo journey quickly turned into a collaborative venture between four Kiwi mates, united by a shared passion for whisky and a Kiwi can-do attitude. Together, we set out to craft a whisky that would redefine tradition while pushing the boundaries of innovation.
