This week on Distil-Nation, we look at what’s happening in New Zealand whisky right now — and why the top end has suddenly jumped from $200 to $400. Is this the new normal, or are we pushing past what consumers are willing to pay?<br /><br />We break down the shift toward ultra-premium releases, what’s driving it, and whether the value stacks up.<br /><br />Along the way, we taste:<br /><ul><li>Reefton Distilling Co. Gold Seeker Rye</li><li>Divergence Whisky Sloe Gin Finished Single Malt</li></ul>Plus, a look ahead to an upcoming usquebaugh release, and a few genuinely great NZ whiskies that still deliver serious value without the $400 price tag.<br />

NZ’s Weird Holiday Trading Laws (And What Just Changed) + Arctic Convoy Gin Review
This week on Distil-Nation, Tom, Cameron, and Ty dive into one of the most confusing parts of running a booze business in New Zealand - holiday trading laws.<br /><br />We unpack where these rules came from, why they’ve stuck around so long, and what’s just changed in time for Easter and ANZAC Day. If you’ve ever wondered when you can (and can’t) legally sell a drink, this one’s for you.<br /><br />Along the way, we crack into something special from Dunedin Craft Distillers - the Arctic Convoy Navy Strength Gin - and give it a proper taste test.<br /><br />It’s equal parts history lesson, industry chat, and good yarn. Expect a few laughs, a bit of confusion, and a clearer picture of the rules than most of us have ever had.
