DISCOVER THE MAGIC OF THE
SOUTH PACIFIC
Meet Andre and Logan Howe, two adventurous brothers who
grew up in the stunning landscapes of New Zealand and now
call the vibrant border town of Tweed Heads, home. In 2021,
they turned their dream into reality by founding Tahā Distillery,
officially launching their exceptional spirits to the public in 2022.
Embracing their rich Māori and European heritage, these
passionate distillers are on a mission to craft top-tier spirits
infused with locally sourced botanicals from Australia, New
Zealand, and the Pacific region. Their goal? To create a ‘Pacific’
style of spirits that are light, approachable, and refreshingly
unique, steering away from the heavy, traditional flavours of
London dry or navy strength gins and plain vodkas. Each product
is a celebration of one or two standout ingredients, allowing
every sip to tell a story and tantalise the taste buds!
With a guiding philosophy of ‘less is more,’ the brothers have
embraced a style perfectly suited to the Pacific’s sun-soaked
summers and cool winters. But it’s not just about the spirits; it’s
about honouring the vibrant culture, people, and ingredients that
make the Pacific extraordinary. They treat their guests, clients,
and customers like whānau (family and friends) and sprinkle in a
dash of fun along the way!
Tahā Distillery is all about sustainability and locality. They are
dedicated to sourcing ingredients from reputable local suppliers
and continuously improving their practices for a better future.
After years of being gypsy distillers, an incredible opportunity
arose just before Christmas—they purchased the distillery where
they had been crafting their spirits, finally establishing a home
and cellar door for everyone to enjoy.
"It’s thrilling to welcome visitors and share our story!"
The future is dazzling for Andre and Logan, with exciting projects
brewing on the horizon. Keep an eye out for their first small-batch
barrel-aged rum, set to enchant taste buds by June! Plus, they’re
launching delicious premix RTDs that pair perfectly with their gin
and vodka, and local collaborations that will soon be unveiled, all
while continuing to bring unique twists to their lineup.
Join the boys on their thrilling journey, and let’s celebrate the
flavours of the South Pacific together!
