Wow. A whopping 96 points and a Double Gold at the biggest spirits competition in the world. That ain't half bad? That means we are still the most awarded distillery on all of Ash Street - just behind Dux Central!

The UK's Gin Guide Awards have been very kind to us. And I feel quite confident in saying that we are definately the most awarded distillery on Ash St!

Busy week!! We survived our first few nights open during the Super Weekend - we are of course located at 3 Ash Street, right by the One NZ Stadium and immediately behind the Dux Central. We also found out 'Gin Clear Day' has made the finals of the UK's Gin Guide Awards, which is great... and in all 3 categories - contemporary gin, martini and negroni. And today we've been playing around with some of our 'not yet released' barrel aged gins as Negronis. They're tasting pretty good and might just make it on the drinks menu shortly! Oh, and last of all, we're now open nights starting tomorrow - Wed/Thurs/Fri and Sat.
