Ah, yet another craft distillery that couldn't handle the market saturation. I've been saying for years that the premium gin bubble was about to burst. Basic economics, folks.
yeah their feijoa was amazing. gonna miss it big time
aw man that's a shame, their feijoa gin was legit. hope someone buys it and keeps the jobs local 🙏
lol you wish. buyer's probably gonna slap a 500% markup on the brand
2 million in debt?? how do you even let it get that bad before calling it. feels like there's more to this story

exactly my point. like who's the lender here
never even heard of em. another one bites the dust
Worked there last year. Pay was shambles and management had no clue. Not surprised tbh.
oi that's harsh. their feijoa won gold at the NZ spirits awards. get a life
bro $2m is crazy for a gin place. whos gonna buy it now?
bit rich coming from a bottle of mcwatters mate. but go off
Good riddance. Overpriced hipster water. Plenty of better NZ gins out there for half the price.
yeah smh. hope someone steps up
fuckin hell that's my go-to gin. absolute classic. rip national distillery co
nah mate you don't know what you're on about. they were award-winning. sometimes good people fail.
Honestly this is devastating for Ahuriri. That building is iconic and the distillery brought life to the area. Feel for the staff.
