Rediscover Parnell Village: Video Highlights!
Parnell residents, people working locally, and visitors from further afield in Auckland watched Art Battle, interacted with Angus Muir’s light installations, listened to live performances from the talented musicians at Youth Arts New Zealand (YANZ), and visited local businesses offering late night trade and pop-up activations.

• Jameson Black Barrel
• Multi Flora Honey
• Lavender Tincture
• Saline solution 10:1
• Manuka Smoke
• Foraged Lavender
Inspired by locality, I wanted to make a drink that would highlight the wonderful flavour profile of my favourite Irish Whiskey, Jameson Black Barrel.
I wanted to focus my entry on ingredients immediately available to me - so sought out to use simple ingredients, that really lets the sprit itself shine as the main star.
Foraged lavender accentuates the flavours of sweet vanilla on the palate, whilst using a multi flora honey syrup lends the drink a smooth finish, butterscotch, caramel and rich spices coming to the fore.
The use of Single Pot Still whiskey and ageing in sherry casks gives the drink a nutty profile that is sharpened by the addition of saline solution, a nod to the sea breeze that is synonymous with the coast of New Zealand.
Finally, to enhance the smoky profile given to the whiskey by the Double-Charred barrels, I have smoked the drink with Manuka Wood Chips offering a bold, sweet and earthy flavour.
Sláinte! 🥃
