THE STORY
Deborah Caldwell, founder and owner of STORM is a big fan of craft gin, so much so that she decided to launch her own. Not one to wait around, she quickly set about finding a quality NZ distilling partner to help her create her perfect gin. The gin had to have a citrus burst (lemon and lime), be good enough to sip on its own and to provide a canvas of a perfect G&T. Oh, one other thing, it had to scream "I need another". She teamed up with The National Distillery Company and soon after her mouth-watering gin was born. The gin is named after one of Deb's favourite animals, the Black Wolf, who are fiercely loyal, family orientated, playful and strong - traits Deb loves.
She loves her gin, so do we here at COVE 27, and she thinks many of her STORM customers will too. You get the feeling this story is just beginning, watch this space.
STORM
Armed with a clear vision and an understanding of how NZ women like to dress, Deb launched STORM in 2005. STORM represents a confident, contemporary woman with an inner Rock n Roll attitude. It’s design mission is to make timeless styles with an iconic edge, sourcing exclusive prints and luxurious fabrics to bring those designs to life. Collections are exclusive and pieces are rarely repeated. The longevity of our pieces, in style and quality, is STORM’s prerogative. The company currently has 8 retail stores across NZ with a very popular following on social media.
THE NATIONAL DISTILLING COMPANY
Much like the timeless, quirky Art Deco building they are located in, The National Distillery spirits are made to stand the test of time, with balanced, complementary flavours and pure ingredients that inspire taste buds while honouring classic distilling traditions.
As custodians of the historic Art Nouveau 1930’s landmark in Ahuriri, tradition, class and expansive creativity is woven into every drink, a tribute to history with a passion for new and exciting spirits of every kind.
Distilling up to 4000 litres a day, they take the natural abundance of New Zealand botanicals and the highest quality raw materials to create spirits so delicious you could drink them straight from the bottle. It is their unique duality between old and new that defines them and results in the finest range of copper distilled gins, vodkas, rums and whiskeys available.
