Award-Winning New Zealand Craft Distillery

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a nationally recognised, award-winning New Zealand craft distillery with proven earnings, secured national distribution and a substantial growth runway already underway.

Bayleys Business is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a premium New Zealand craft spirits business operating at the value-premium end of the market. Established in 2017, the business has evolved from a Bay of Islands producer into one of the country's leading locally produced spirits brands, with nationwide retail and hospitality penetration supported by secured supply agreements.

The business produces a portfolio of award-winning vodka, gin and rum, underpinned by strong brand equity, loyal consumer demand and multiple industry accolades. Significant investment has already been made in brand development, modern infrastructure and distribution, positioning the business for accelerated growth under new ownership.

Operating from a purpose-built, highly automated distillery, the business benefits from substantial unused production capacity, allowing meaningful scale without major additional capital expenditure. With national distribution now firmly established and forecast growth extending through FY26 and FY27, the platform is primed for expansion.
