Schnapp Dragon Distillery changes hands
Takaka’s Schnapp Dragon Distillery, famous for producing New Zealand’s first blue agave tequila, Te Kiwi, has been sold to Village Distillery.
The sale of Schnapp Dragon Distillery to Village Distillery included the existing rum stock, which is branded under Murderer’s Bay.
Aged 14 years in French oak barrels, Murderer’s Bay Rum recently won the top prize in London’s Global Rum Master competition for the best aged rum.
Village Distillery is also crafting a new gin and vodka line, along with replenishing the aged rum stock.
The cellar door will remain closed for a few months while all the products are refreshed and the tasting room is renovated. The doors should reopen to the public by Labour weekend.
