Our Story

For all the grand ideas, we just want to make a good gin. We are James and Will

Seeking a more family friendly lifestyle, shorter commutes and a greater sense of community, we moved out of the big smoke with our families to the picturesque town of Cambridge, in the heart of Waikato, New Zealand.

We did not start out with a plan to become distillers.

Our fondness of this town and its people, cultivated the idea of making gins that remind us of our new home - using botanicals foraged from amongst the many gardens, lakes and woodlands of this community. Sensory memories - a lasting reminder.

We feel Cambridge has given us so much that we aim, in some small way, to enhance its story and for The Cambridge Distillery Co. to become a very small, but very enjoyable, part of its history.
