Our spiritual home. A testament to our deep ambition for showcasing the best of New Zealand Spirits to the world.

A decade of exploration through the ranges of Central Otago led us to this place —an unspoiled canvas encircled by Mt Pisa and Lake Dunstan. Today, it stands as New Zealand’s largest distillery and the heart of Scapegrace.

With our headquarters, warehousing, bottling operations, whisky barrel halls, and distillery now completed, we are on the cusp of unveiling our new spiritual home to the public.

The distillery’s location exactly on the 45th Parallel is no coincidence; it’s unique to creating New World Whisky. Positioned midway between the Equator and the South Pole, this site experiences scorching summers and frigid winters—conditions vital for the unique aging of Single Malt Whisky. These temperature extremes shape the character, depth, and age of our whisky.

But the journey didn’t end with finding the perfect location. We wanted the distillery to fully reflect our values. Sustainability is at the heart of our strategy, with initiatives to enhance biodiversity, reduce our carbon footprint, and support social, cultural, and community projects. Every decision was made to respect the land, ensuring it thrives for generations to come.
