Third Island Vodka

How can something come from nothing?

Vodka, by definition, should be as close to 'nothing' as possible - completely devoid of all distinction, character, and individuality.

We disagree.

Reflections of Rakiura

As New Zealand’s southernmost distillery, our spirits capture the untouched piece of prehistoric rainforest on which Stewart Islanders call home.

We are blessed to live amongst an abundance of pristine natural resources with nothing but the purest sub-Antarctic rain as our water source.

The island's rich culture and colourful histories provide inspiration in the face of isolation.

Words simply do no justice to this stormy, solitary outpost at the furthest reaches of the Earth...

So we've bottled it to share with you instead.

We invite you to savour our expressions of Rakiura - the Third Island - from wherever your vessel may be.
