Meet The Makers
Michael
In 1997 the last whisky distillery in New Zealand was closed down and the hundreds of barrels of Cask Strength whisky was auctioned off or mothballed. In 2010, we bought the last 80,000 litres in 443 barrels from what had previously been stored in an old airplane hangar.
The whisky now resides in the towering seaside bonds store in Oamaru. These are exceptionally rare drams from what was once the world’s southern-most distillery.
Joerg
Distilled in Queenstown, New Zealand, Broken Heart’s award-winning spirits are created with the purest water sourced directly from Paradise in the Mt Aspiring National Park. Made with 11 natural botanicals, and locally sourced organic fruit, each bottle is lovingly and sustainably hand produced.
Matt & Lesley
Longshot Distillery is a family-run craft gin distillery founded by Matthew, Lesley, and Adam — a trio of gin enthusiasts who emigrated from UK to NZ.
What began as a lockdown kitchen hobby soon turned into a passion project, leading them to convert their garage into a micro-distillery. Today, Longshot crafts small-batch gins, gin liqueur, vodka using carefully selected botanicals, designed to be shared and enjoyed with loved ones
Julien
Combining the skills of a 4th generation distiller from Normandy, awarded No8 Distillery tickles tradition and your tonsils. We forage, distil, and bottle flavours to bring the party to your palate.
James & Matt
James is the grower, Matt, the caretaker. Two brothers. Two neighbours. Fierce about wine, family and Bannockburn — the land where they’ve put down roots. Wine runs deep for the Diceys. In the dirt and in the veins.
Otago Festival is R18.
No children please, it's an adult-only event.
We aims to promote responsible drinking to create a mini festival environment that everyone can enjoy. Plenty of food, tonics and other non-alcoholic beverages will be available. Please don’t drink and drive, there are public transport options near our events and taxis or Uber are just a phone call or tap away.
The No8 team will happily assist with phone numbers for safe transport options and information whenever needed.
