Alpine Vodka

Alpine Vodka comes from KJ & Co Distillery, a small distillery based in Christchurch that has been crafting spirits since 2022. The team built the business around sourcing genuinely local ingredients rather than importing shortcuts, and Alpine Vodka was one of their first releases alongside a pair of small batch gins. It takes its name and creative direction from the Canterbury high country nearby, a nod to the mountains that shape the water running through the region.

The vodka is made with pure New Zealand alpine water and produced in small batches rather than mass quantities, an approach that keeps the distillery hands on with every stage of the process. It is bottled at 40% ABV with a clean, smooth character built for easy mixing, whether that means a drink lengthened with soda or something more involved behind the bar, a genuinely local addition to the wider vodka category.
