The team at Lakestone Lodge, Lake Pukaki know a good tipple! We are stoked to be on their drinks list.

It was two years ago today that we released our first booze photo-shoot photos. Then we only had two brews, and we were stoked with our new label design (created by our better halves) and the mini-flagon bottles. Two years later, the Rusty Halo Gin label has seen 4 flavours (our flagship Manuka, Wilding, Hazy Lime, and Barrel Aged). Our White Whiskey has had a rebrand, with what we think is a more appropriate name - Gunnrunner Moonshine, and we now age some of this in oak barrels to produce a "bourbon-like" spirit.

Thanks to everyone who has supported us, purchased from us, or even just followed us! We'd love for you to spread the word about our unique, boutique distillery, where we make everything from scratch. Share to your mates and so they can get "Resurrected" too!

What's New?

Good news - our original manuka gin (first child) 🤣 is back in stock! This beloved gin was what blew people's socks off when we initially released it. Like many gins, this is a seasonal brew using the summer's locally foraged manuka. Get some at https://resurrection.kiwi

Bad news - we have sold out of the limited releases of Hazy Lime Gin and Barrel Aged Moonshine. Well, we did say they were limited! But never fear - a new brew of Hazy Lime will be made over the next month or so, and our Gunnrunner Moonshine has been poured into mini oak barrels and has started the transformation into our bourbon-like spirit.

On Saturday, we attended the Twizel Salmon & Wine Festival on the shores of Lake Ruataniwha. This was the first event we've attended, and what a blast we had! There were many adventurous souls who gave our moonshine a go - many were repeat customers! Our gins were also very popular, as was the "MoonBooch". Thanks to everyone who tried our booze, and a big high five to Twizel Promotions and Event Goals for smashing out another amazing festival.

21/02/2024

This is where we will be on Saturday - the Twizel Salmon & Wine Festival! If you are coming to this awesome event, pop by our stall to try some gin, moonshine, and a special festival tipple - MoonBooch! We'll also have bottles available for you to take home. Very excited to be part of this incredible day.

Spotlight on our Hazy Lime Gin!

This wee beaut was created on a whim as a citrus-forward gin for summer. Lime zest and fragrant lime leaves combine with juniper for a flavour-packed brew that has been very popular.

Hazy? Yep - in two ways! Addition of tonic will create a slight haze in the glass, and a good session on this gin may create a hazy feeling in the body! Like the label says, it's a limited release, so when we've sold out, you'll have to wait until next summer to give it a hoon.

ANOTHER NEW BOOZE BREW!

Introducing Hazy Lime Gin, the drink that's as mysterious as a magic trick! Our distillers have crafted a bewitching blend of lime zest, kaffir lime leaves, and when you add your favourite mixer, watch as this gin transforms into a mesmerizing haze. And beware, my friend, for its strength might make you see the world through lime-tinted glasses. Get ready to sip, savour, and get delightfully hazy with Hazy Lime Gin – it’s the perfect blend of citrusy goodness and questionable decision-making.

SALE! Gunnrunner White Whiskey – the perfect blend of moonshine tradition and rebellion. And guess what? We're having a limited-time sale with 10% off. Why you ask? It’s like champagne and fancy cheese – people get their knickers in knots over names, so White Whiskey is on the way out, and Moonshine is in. Sure, these labels may not be as fresh as daisies, but the barley, corn and rye spirit on the inside sure is.

This 10% off sale on our limited stock of bottles with an old label is like finding treasure in your grandparents' attic - don't worry, the moonshine inside is as smooth and satisfying as ever. These original beauties are flying off the shelves faster than a cheetah on roller skates, so don't dilly-dally. Cheers to good times and great deals.

Our Gunnrunner White Whiskey is an unaged blend that could also be labelled as Moonshine or New Make. With maize, barley and rye from the Canterbury plains, this white whiskey is young and fresh. Smooth but a little spicy. Fermented and distilled on grain and produced in a pot still in the wild west...

What to do with 400+kg of cherries!?!?!?
We have a few ideas, but firstly these beauties needed to be turned into an alcoholic wash. This meant many hours for the team (all hands on deck), grading, cutting, squishing, until we ended up with a big tank of deliciousness.
What do you think we should make with this?????
