About

Bayside Rum Co. is a New Zealand craft distillery producing small‑batch rum and gin with a modern, locally inspired twist - including unique expressions like spiced rum and pickle‑gin.

Bayside Rum Co. is based in Auckland and crafts “pure single rum” distilled from 100% blackstrap molasses. Their fermentation uses a native‑style starter to embrace local character, and they wind the process with a double distillation in a handmade pot still. After distillation the spirit rests in reclaimed ex‑red‑wine barrels for several months, which adds depth and complexity to the rum.

The distillery’s philosophy blends traditional rum making techniques with distinctly Kiwi ingredients and creative spirits - embracing local flavour while maintaining classic craft methods.
