Another Kiwi business down the gurgler. What a load of rubbish.
Their gin was decent but overpriced. Good riddance maybe?
Shame, that was a nice spot for a tasting. But voluntary liquidation doesn't surprise me – rent in that building must be crazy.
yeah nah it's a shame for the workers but the market is saturated with craft gin
Heard they owed a bunch to suppliers. Hope the tax man gets his cut before the directors take off.
Bet it's because of the excise tax. Government bleeding small distilleries dry.

facts, excise is a rort but they still could've managed better
Won a bunch of awards but still couldn't make it work. Maybe they spent too much on marketing and not enough on actual business sense.
exactly, all hat no cattle
I loved their rose gin. Devastating. Only good local distillery in Napier and now it's gone.
lol imagine drinking rose gin. it's 2026 get a real drink
couldn't care less, hate gin tastes like pine needles
didn't ask for your opinion mate
