The first Rum from LWF Distillery. This clean white rum is created by fermenting Molasses from Bundaberg, Queensland Australia with a specialty yeast, in beautiful clean, 5 times filtered New Zealand rainwater. The completed ferment is then transferred to the pot still for its first distillation.
Situated under the Kaitake Ranges, on the family farm in Oakura, Taranaki, LWF Distillery is a classic story of home calling. Returning to New Plymouth after 19 years Janet took over the utility shed on the farm and converted it to a beautiful rum distillery.
Utilising the natural resources, including the 5 times filtered NZ rainwater, the distillery also has a working garden to help supply the Rhubarb, lemons, limes and Feijoa used in their various executions.
You can go visit the distillery where behind the scenes events are run every month, enjoy a cocktail and chat everything rum.
Having supported Kiva in her corporate career, a not for profit that gives micro-loans to people who could not otherwise access finance, Janet wanted her company to keep the ethos of helping people help themselves by using a portion of profits quarterly kiva loans and annually donating the balance to Kiva to keep them going - LWF = Life Worth Funding.
