Auld Farm Distillery, Scotts Gap, Southland
Auld Farm Distillery, nestled in the heart of Southland, New Zealand, is a unique gem in the world of spirits.
Our family-run Farm and Distillery prides itself on its “seed-to-sip” spirits, where every step of the production process, from growing and nurturing the grains to crafting the final spirit, is meticulously managed on-site. This approach not only ensures the highest quality but also imbues each bottle with the distinct character of the Southland terroir.
Our distillery’s offerings include Single-Malt Whisky’s, Single-Grain Whisky’s, Terroir driven Gin, and a range of innovative spirits, all crafted with a deep respect for tradition and a passion for exploration.
The Private “Seed-to-Sip” experiences at Auld Farm Distillery invite visitors to immerse themselves in the entire journey of their spirits. Guests can tour the fields where the grains are grown, visit the distillery to see the craftsmanship in action, and finally, enjoy a tasting session where they can savour the fruits of this labour-intensive process.
This comprehensive experience provides a unique insight into the art of distillation and the dedication required to produce world-class spirits.
