EXCLUDING WAIHEKE ISLAND
Honouring the traditions of whisky making legends, our journey starts the same and in the nature of the great braided rivers that flow from the Southern Alps, there is a point where we diverge and the story becomes our own.
Born of Nature, a perfect southern climate produces a superior grain and pure artesian water.
Distilled by Industry in our Christchurch distillery, using smaller barrels and the Antipodean climate to deliver full, rich flavours.
Join us as we age together.

Divergence Whisky is a craft product. We are hands on, every step of the way, including the bottling process. Each bottle of Divergence is artfully hand dipped in hot wax to provide a final layer over each corkseal.
Wax is an organic substance. It softens in the heat and contracts in the cold or air conditioning. Your wax top may be cracked or scuffed or slightly imperfect. This is perfectly normal. It does not effect the cork sealing of the whisky in any way. It is, in fact, the mark of a truly hand crafted product.
