Scapegrace launches flavoured whisky ThunderDonk
New Zealand’s Scapegrace Distilling Co. has launched two new flavoured whiskies from its new distillery in Central Otago.
ThunderDonk has been in development for the past 18 months and marks Scapegrace’s official entry into the liqueur category.
It is made with aged single malt whisky from Scapegrace’s brand-new distillery on the banks of Lake Dunstan and is available in two flavours: Spiced Maple and Salted Caramel.

In announcing the launch, the Scapegrace team says that ThunderDonk is “tapping into the growing demand for flavoured whisky spirits, with the global market projected to expand from $10 billion in 2023 to nearly $19 billion by 2032”.
Scapegrace Co-Founder Daniel McLaughlin says the name ThunderDonk reflects the brand’s playful and boundary-pushing spirit. “ThunderDonk is bringing an independent, bold, and locally-made flavoured whisky to the market. This is a drink that’s made to share and unite, and we wanted a name which encapsulated that,” says McLaughlin.
