750ML Neutral Base Spirit for home distilling.
A note on price: We make and sell Neutral Base Spirit to support home distillers – but as a distillery we must charge excise duty as it leaves our premises. As of 1 July 2025, the Excise Duty and GST on a bottle of Neutral base Spirit is over $33. We cut the price to the bone for NBS but the post-COVID inflation and associated tax increases have put us in the position of needing to charge $56.95 – which we are well aware is more than some gins. There is 40% more alcohol in a bottle of our NBS than a typical bottle of gin and so that extra excise tax is what causes the price difference.
Our Neutral Base Spirit is a top quality alcohol base pre-mixed at 50% alc/vol. The alcohol is made in New Zealand and diluted with our own filtered water.
We supply it in 750ml spirit bottles so you can re-use for your finished spirit.
Neutral base spirit is an ideal base for home distilled gin and will give superior results to using 40% vodka. It is also perfect for making steeped fruit liqueurs using peel or whole fruit. Limoncello comes out particularly well.
