DIVERGENCE Whisky is distilled and matured in ŌtautahiChristchurch, at the centre of the Canterbury region of New Zealand.
Our distillery team is dedicated to making whisky withcharacter and a strong sense of place. We bring a distinctly local approach toevery stage of production. Reflecting the beautiful and diverse landscapesurrounding us and distilling what it delivers into our products.
The fertile alluvial soils of the Canterbury Plainssurrounding Christchurch, lying alongside the magnificent Southern Alps and fedby braided snow melt rivers, provide perfect growing conditions for the locallygrown and malted barley we use to make our whisky.
At our rural barrel store, humidity is tempered by thenearby the Waimakariri and Eyre Rivers. The otherwise uninterrupted Canterburyclimate delivers hot summers, cold winters and often four seasons in one day.Influencing the way our spirit develops in oak, over time, like no other.
The result is a New Zealand single malt with a uniquecharacter, shaped by the grain, the spirit, the cask, the people and the placein which it is made.
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.
