Description
The National Distillery Company Ltd is an artisan distillery with a very special tasting room. Located in the port area of Ahuriri, Hawkes Bay, our distillery is in an iconic New Zealand heritage site, the former home of “The National Tobacco Company Ltd”, and later the Rothmans Cigarette Company. Our building is so world famous, it is even on the New Zealand Monopoly Board! We plan for this landmark building to become a New Zealand heritage tourist Mecca.
We have a multi-pronged business model encompassing our craft and contract distillery operations as well as tourism.
Our signature premium and ultra-premium brands of spirits are based on ingredients sourced from New Zealand’s rich abundance of unique botanicals and raw materials. We take a “grain to glass” approach in everything we create.
We will also offer a unique contract distilling opportunity for artisans and companies who want to develop spirit products using our top quality equipment and expertise.
Our tourist business is currently producing an immersive virtual reality tour of Napier both pre the big quake and after the rebuild. This tour will include our beautiful building's history, as well as an overall history of Hawkes Bay.
Distillery tours will also be a drawcard because in only 40 minutes you will be able to make your own gin! Our tasting room will allow visitors to create and mix all kinds of delicious alcoholic beverages into stunning cocktails.
Success in global export markets is our primary strategic goal but emerging as an iconic New Zealand brand is extremely important to us and will be a whole lot of fun!!
