Reefton is a modern distillery in an age-old town. They take their inspiration from Reefton’s rich history of adventure, innovation and gold to create a range of small batch premium distilled spirits with a distinct West Coast flavour. Founder and CEO Patsy Bass was born and grew up in Reefton, she remembers the simplicity of life on the West Coast, picking fruit in the garden, riding horses and sipping on milkshakes at the milk bar. Her love of the region has been a constant and decades later when Patsy’s work as a project manager saw her return home, she began to look for ways that she could contribute to the revitalisation of her home town. Having spent her early years living on the site of the Westland Brewery, establishing a distillery was a natural step. Patsy and her team see Reefton as the perfect place for making fresh, handcrafted spirits, with its plentiful supplies of rainfall, spring water from pristine sources and lush rainforests full of key botanical ingredients.
