"Ever fallen in love with a place that most people drive right past? We’re from Waikino—a little town tucked between bush and mountain in the Karangahake Gorge. You might’ve missed it on the way through, but we’ve been here, quietly crafting something special, one bottle at a time.

No big factories. No flash. Just a small team, a still, and a whole lot of heart.

And guess what? Our gin—Eliza’s Claim Gold—just got named New Zealand’s Best Contemporary Gin at the 2025 World Gin Awards.

Not bad for a town with more gold-rush history than cellphone reception.

This isn’t just a win for us—it’s a win for every small town dreamer, maker, and believer. 💛

Have you ever discovered something amazing in an unexpected place?

Tell us about it in the comments—we’d love to hear your story.

A story of botanicals and heritage, the purest ingredients and an indulgent passion to create an endless story of pleasure from the first sip. Our award-winning range of gins, spiced rum, moonshine, vodka and now the world’s first Sugar Free Liqueurs has been carefully created for you.
