Our Tenth award this year, so far picking up 4 golds, 4 silvers 1 bronze and best in category in both the NZ spirits awards and the Drammys

What started as one man's obsession has grown to become a full scale commercial distillery.
Making whisky by the sea from fresh, salty rainwater, combined with organic Canterbury Malted Barley, gives us our unique taste profile. If you like salinity and seaweed with sweet nuts and cigar smoke with a toffee or two, you're in the right place. Our Island is our biggest ally.
Traditional ex Bourbon casks rub shoulders with Chardonnay and Syrah ex wine barrels. Learn about our wood philosophy and experimentation.
Our Kindred Spirits Club will be amongst the first to know about our new releases.
We come from an island
walk on the sky, the ocean above
lends its briny tang to sleeping casks
They age in dog years
peat-touched spirit breathing life
into the new world whisky fabric
Our horizon glows copper
distilling the past and the future
