This delicious American style whisky is made from 51% corn, 21% rye and 28% Barley. Matured in our oceanside barrel house, it has a grassy, spicy tone with a distinct Rye note. Look for notes of toasted oak, spices and vanilla. Cream corn and smooth caramel finishes with a hint of rye bite. 

Colour Burnt Caramel 

Nose Sweet oak, spice and vanilla. 

Palate Toasted oak, spices and vanilla, cream corn and smooth caramel, summer grass. 

Finish Spicy finish with distinct rye notes.

Made from New Zealand malt, double distilled in copper  pot stills and aged for 5 years in French oak ex white wine casks, which have been shaved, toasted and re-charred, then finished in ex-bourbon barrels. Sweet and malty aromas on the nose lead to primary tastes of candied orange peel and honeycomb on the palate. The finish in American oak lends notes of almonds, clove and vanilla. This mouth coating, easy drinking whisky surprises with the bourbon creaminess giving way to a long peppery dry finish.

Our Mermaid's Mirth is a bit of a local legend here in Mt Maunganui. Generously packed with American hops where Citra, Simcoe, and Chinook deliver a citrusy flavour and aroma, supported by a clean and crispy body.

Exceptionally easy drinking for 6% she may be legendary but comes with a cautionary tale...

Pinnacle NZ Pilsner

NEW RELEASE

We’ve been on a journey to find the pinnacle of NZ hops, so when we discovered experimental Bract NZH-106, we knew we had to brew the perfect beer for it. This quintessential New Zealand pilsner is fresh, bright, and thirst-quenching, with tropical hops and a bready backbone. It’s all down-hill from here, because this trip starts at the pinnacle. 

Fernet Branca is a bitter, aromatic spirit made from of over 40herbs and spices, including myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, cardamom and saffron, with a base of grape alcohol. The recipe is a secret, and wascreated by the young Maria Scala in 1845 in Milan. Scala's name became Maria Branca through marriage, and the product's name was born. TheFernet Branca is still produced in Milan by the company FratelliBranca, over seen by the Branca family. Fernet Branca is usually served as a digestif after a meal, but mayalso be enjoyed with coffee and espresso, or mixed into coffee and espresso drinks. It may be enjoyed neat at room temperature or with ice. Source: webtender.com 

This light, dry beer has pleasant malt and hop notes with a round dry finish. Regardless of the time of the year, Corona is best served ice cold, with a wedge of lime that complements and intensifies the flavour through the palate.

Tasting Notes

Made using Zoncello Limoncello and sparkling wine, this is a vibrant limoncello spritz with notes of lemon sherbet and is reminiscent of ice cold sorbet in a glass. Fresh and bright with a gentle fizz. Perfect for sunny days and friends. This is a refreshing drop best served chilled over ice.

Process

The Limoncello has been handmade from locally sourced lemons, steeped in alcohol for two months to extract all the wonderful citrus aromas.

Sugar was then added and allowed to rest for another two months.

Sparkling wine was then added to the Limoncello and the sugar levels reduced.

Citric acid was then added to ensure the final product was fresh and zingy.

Pioneer Brown Porter

ABV 5.5%

Our take on an English-style Brown Porter, Pioneer is an award-winning beer that blends a proprietary malt list to a delicious end. Using a classic English ale strain imparts lovely fruity esters, both 'bready' & lively, with subtle cocoa & toast on the palate for a simple-yet-satisfying brew. Balanced, as always, & delicious. That's what beer's about, right? 

#N/A

Indulge in a refreshing symphony of flavours with our vodka and lemon creation. It's like sipping on a bottled lemonade ice block. Cheers to the ultimate summer refreshment!
