ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

Our philosophy is that life is for living.

Our unique spirits, liqueurs and cocktails, created through the expertise of lead distiller and co-owner Bec Kay, have already become mainstays of the Wellington bar scene and beyond, while our premium canned Cocktail Collusion range now brings top shelf mixology expertise into the homes and backyards of cocktail-loving Kiwis across Aotearoa.

No high brow distillery, The Bond Store is an innovative and fun-loving makery of spirits that's shaking up the way Kiwis right across the country think about their favourite tipples.

Focussing on sustainable practices in our craft, our distillery’s sought-after products range from a delicate, botanical Kawakawa gin, infused with native leaves handpicked from Bec and co-owner Chris Barber’s own rural property, to delectable coffee vodka made with organic beans in collaboration with Wellington coffee powerhouse L’affare.

We try to think about things differently and challenge others to do the same.  A limited edition release of their Kawakawa gin now comes housed in a handmade wooden rat trap instead of a gift box, to help people take a hands-on approach to conservation by getting out and trapping rats in their own backyards with the first ever gin-rat-trap. It’s just one example of how we not only distill a relaxed, Kiwi feel into our products, but also prompt everyone - from merchant to consumer - to think about their individual impact.

Our Kaupapa

It's pretty simple, really.

Think about the planet and the people that live on it with every decision we make.

Run a great business, do great business - but not with dicks.

Make great products that are recognised for their quality.
