single malt whisky, ahead of it's time

Portfolio

From world-award-winning gin to New Zealand's most exciting new single malt, a vodka drawn from glacial water, and a flavoured whisky that refuses to take itself seriously - the Scapegrace portfolio is built for the full spectrum. Multiple spirits, one uncompromising provenance.

Central Otago. Grain to glass. No shortcuts.

SINGLE MALT WHISKY

New world. No apologies.

New Zealand has no whisky tradition. That's the point.

At the 45th parallel, on the banks of Lake Dunstan, where summer scorches and winter bites without mercy — Scapegrace Single Malt is forged in conditions that were never designed to make whisky easy. Virgin French Oak. NZ Laureate and Manuka-smoked malt. Non-chill filtered, natural colour. Nothing removed. Nothing concealed.

Anthem and Vanguard are the core — accessible enough to pour, complex enough to earn Gold at the World Whisky Awards from the moment they existed.

The tradition starts here.

SCAPEGRACE GIN

Four gins. One uncompromising provenance. 42 markets and counting.

The gin that made Scapegrace famous was awarded the World's Best London Dry at the IWSC in 2018. We didn't rest on it.

Classic is the original: twelve botanicals, citrus-forward, precise.

Gold adds a thirteenth, dried tangerine, for three distinct layers and a Navy Strength that rewards the drinker who pays attention.

Black is something else entirely: the world's first naturally black gin, its colour drawn from five botanical extracts, each with a flavour role. Add citrus. Watch it turn red. This was not a gimmick. It was serendipity - discovered by accident, perfected with obsession.

Blood Moon draws from the New Zealand land itself. Blood oranges from Tauranga. Raspberries from Tasman. Makrut leaf from Gisborne. Juniper forward, juicy, with a dry and peppery finish.

ThunderDonk Whisky

The spirit that dropped the pretence.

Some whiskies demand a quiet room and considered opinion. ThunderDonk demands neither.

Built on a double grain base at 33% ABV, Spiced Maple and Salted Caramel are warm, smooth, and engineered for exactly one occasion: a good night. Ambient or chilled. Neat in a Donk Cup.

ThunderDonk is not for the uninteresting. It's for everyone else.

Let's Donk.

A Landmark Distillery

New Zealand's largest distillery. Built on the edge of the earth.

A decade of searching Central Otago led us to the banks of Lake Dunstan — encircled by Mt Pisa, fed by glacial water, shaped by seasons that don't do anything by halves. Speyside copper stills. A barrel hall deep in the Bendigo mountains. Grain to glass, under one roof, at the 45th parallel.

This is where it all happens.
