Everywhere Else

We Ship to New Zealand and Australia Only

Regulations on shipping alcohol across borders are complex and vary widely, and we are not currently able to deliver outside New Zealand and Australia. If you are elsewhere, you may still find our whisky through one of our international stockists. You are also welcome to get in touch — we will help where we can.

All estimates are approximate and based on a standard 500ml bottle at 40% ABV. Actual costs may vary depending on product value, ABV, volume, and your country's current rates. We recommend checking with your local customs authority for exact figures. Rates shown were last reviewed in 2025.
