  • About The Bond Store

    Our philosophy is that life is for living.

    Our unique spirits, liqueurs and cocktails, created through the expertise of lead distiller and co-owner Bec Kay, have already become mainstays of the Wellington bar scene and beyond, while our premium canned Cocktail Collusion range now brings top shelf mixology expertise into the homes and backyards of cocktail-loving Kiwis across Aotearoa.

    No high brow distillery, The Bond Store is an innovative and fun-loving makery of spirits that's shaking up the way Kiwis right across the country think about their favourite tipples.

    Focussing on sustainable practices in our craft, our distillery’s sought-after products range from a delicate, botanical Kawakawa gin, infused with native leaves handpicked from Bec and co-owner Chris Barber’s own rural property, to delectable coffee vodka made with organic beans in collaboration with Wellington coffee powerhouse L’affare.

  • Every gin tells a story

    Small-batch, New Zealand-made gins inspired by the places and people around us.

    Crafted from scratch in Whanganui, each bottle invites you to slow down, share a story, and savour the moment.
