Reefton Distilling Co. launches investment offer to scale up whisky production

West Coast business, Reefton Distilling Co., is preparing to raise a minimum of NZD$1M from both private and wholesale investors as they look to scale up their Moonlight Creek whisky production.

Having established themselves at the forefront of the New Zealand distilling industry, Reefton Distilling Co. have continued to expand distribution, develop their range and introduce new products, year on year.

As part of their longer-term growth strategy of establishing a broad portfolio of complementary premium spirits, they began laying down their first Moonlight Creek single malt whisky in September 2022.

In 2023 they made headlines as the first New Zealand distillery to contract distill whisky for the Scots, securing a multi-year supply contract with the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) on the back of the quality of their new make spirit.
