The Whisky Art Gallery opened in January, 2008 and is located in the Historic Quarter
of Oamaru in the former NZ Loan and Mercantile building. Built in 1882, to the design
of Dennison and Grant, this elegantly detailed, three storey Victorian warehouse was
built for NZ Loan and Mercantile Company when it was the largest stock and station
agency in New Zealand. Currently, the ground floor is home to the Loan and Merc
Restaurant (Fleur's other place) and the middle floor houses hundreds of barrels of
maturing whisky, lending to the galleries name and unique aroma of whisky, sea
breeze and aged building.
The Whisky Art Gallery is located on the top floor with a stunning outlook to the
Oamaru Harbor and Penguin colony.
