Herrick Creek's Maple Moonshine. Crafted right here in Christchurch, we start with our Original Moonshine and infuse it with genuine Grade A Canadian Maple Syrup. The result is a spirit that's pleasantly sweet, rich, and easy to enjoy. Great with sour, citrus, or iced tea!

Whether sipped straight, mixed into cocktails, or drizzled over ice cream, our Maple Moonshine adds a special touch. The brown colour you'll notice is all thanks to the Maple Syrup we add post-distillation - no added colour.

We're proud that our Maple Moonshine was awarded a Silver Medal at the 2022 New Zealand Spirits Awards. The spirit is available in a 700ml jar, both bottled at a strong 50% ABV.

Please don't worry if you see some cloudiness or sediment - it's completely normal and just part of our artisanal production process.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

At Herrick Creek, we are inspired by the legends and mysteries of Fiordland. Our brand is for explorers and adventurers who embrace the unknown and don't take themselves too seriously. Some of us even believe that there may still be moose wandering around Herrick Creek.

Our mission is to create small batch, uniquely New Zealand spirits that capture the spirit of adventure and the tales of Herrick Creek. Proudly made in Christchurch.

Craft Distilling - Grain to Glass

At Herrick Creek, we take pride in our small batch, artisanal approach to distilling. We use small, 50L and 200L pot stills at our headquarters in Christchurch to create our unique New Zealand spirits.

Our batches are small, with some numbering fewer than 20 bottles and our largest batch to date being 115 bottles. By carefully crafting each batch, we are able to ensure the highest quality spirits.

Our Goal

At Herrick Creek, we believe that everyone should have access to high-quality, locally-crafted spirits at affordable prices. We know that it can be expensive to produce alcohol in New Zealand, but we are committed to offering transparent, grain-to-glass spirits that are accessible to all.

We also hope to see more bars and restaurants stocking New Zealand products instead of mass-produced imported spirits. With your help and support, we can make this a reality. Thank you for choosing Herrick Creek and supporting local craft distilling.
