We are a small, family-owned, garage distilled operation, who are passionate about Gin and making delicious drinks for everyone to enjoy.
After spending much of lockdown carefully crafting Gins in a small 5 litre copper still, Longshot Distillery upscaled and launched The Racketeer Gin at the end of 2021 with a base range of 3 delicious and very different Gins. We have added some seasonal fruit Gins to that range.
We have won accolades at the NZ Spirit Awards and the Australian Gin Awards in both 2022 and 2023. We love our Gins and sharing them, we hope you love them too.
