The story of Herrick Creek is one of adventure and pushing the boundaries. Importing foreign moose to establish a colony here in New Zealand's s...

We all have pretty mixed feelings for 2020, ourselves including. However, 2020 for Herrick Creek was a momentous year and we wanted to share those wins with you. 

We're really excited that our first batches of Nine Fathoms Gin and Smokin' Right Rear Moonshine are available. Our first batch of Original Moonshine will be available soon as well!

Keep an eye out for updates on our NZ Whiskies and our Explorer Series Bourbon. 

We've named it "Biscuits" because the early records of the young moose calves in Wellington mention their love for the stable worker's biscuits. Batch 4 is New Zealand Malt Grain Whisky, made from 50% Corn, 25% Wheat, 25% Barley - all malted.

What a great month it's been here! We've been hard at work on Batch #1!

Today we're officially announcing the Herrick Creek Distillery brand to the world! It was on this day, 110 year ago, that the tale of New Zealand moose began at Supper Cove. 

Read all about who we are, what we're planning, and how you can help. 

We are only a couple weeks away from starting production at the distillery. All the papers have been signed and we're just waiting on the final approvals now. 

With that said, our first batch of product won't be potable at all - instead, we are going to start by making basic sanitising solution for those in need. 

Looks like a local has spotted a moose near Doubtful Sound!

Let's get down to business. Here's what 2020 has in store for Herrick Creek Distillery.
