Peter’s relationship with gin began at a relatively early age. No, not your typical youthful bombard-your-liver-and-seek-oblivion kind of relationship, but a more discerning, quality-appraising approach. At least that’s what he claims.

That early flirtation morphed into fine appreciation. Overseas trips turned into outstanding-local-gin-sampling-and-purchasing missions (the top shelf of the Warren drinks trolley is mightily impressive). And pretty soon, fine appreciation turned into a desire to craft.

After much trial and error, Peter developed his own neutral spirit and has relished the opportunity to explore a range of flavour profiles using different botanicals and distilling techniques. The outstanding customers of the Greytown Distilling Company thank you for it, Peter.

Gavin is hewn from fine Wairarapa farming stock, but rather than fattening lambs and invigorating crops, he discovered a deep visceral preference for doing the same to businesses. So he studied accountancy (look, someone has to) and embarked on a stellar career in financial and business management.

Gavin quickly rose through the ranks to the heady heights of directorship, working for accountancy firms and a range of local and multinational enterprises mainly in the tech sector. He gets results and shareholders love him to bits. They send him gifts at Christmas (which he returns in the interests of transparency). Some even leave him stuff in their wills (no pets please).
