About

SIP Distilling Co. is an Auckland‑based craft distillery producing small‑batch, handcrafted New Zealand gin and spirits; home of NZ’s first “shimmer gin.”

SIP Distilling Co. operates from their Takapuna facility on Barrys Point Road and offers both distillation and visitor experiences including tastings and workshops. Their offering emphasises creativity and playful innovation - their “Shimmer Gin” is celebrated as New Zealand’s first of its kind. The distillery markets itself not just as a spirits producer, but as an experiential destination, with a shop, cocktail‑led tasting experiences, and a focus on handcrafted, artisanal production. SIP appears to target a modern audience seeking vibrant, flavour‑forward spirits rather than traditional boutique gin
