Reefton Distilling Co. launches across Australia

West Coast craft distillery Reefton Distilling Co. has partnered with independent spirits distributor Iconic Beverages to launch nationally in Australia.

Iconic Beverages will distribute its multi-award-winning flagship product Little Biddy Gin in the Classic and Pink expressions. The gin was named for gin-toting, 4-foot-tall gold prospector Bridget “Little Biddy” Goodwin who was known in the area during the West Coast gold rush of the late 19th century.

Reefton Distilling Co. founder and chief executive, Patsy Bass, says they’re thrilled with the new partnership. “We’re incredibly excited to expand our reach and capability in Australia through Iconic Beverages. Their commitment to brand building, and strong network both on- and off-premise, make them a natural fit for our team.”

The news comes just months after Reefton Distilling Co. opened its new distillery on the edge of Reefton, with bottling and warehousing on site.

Iconic Beverages Brand Manager Andy Kelly says they are excited to bring Reefton Distilling Co. to Australian consumers. “When the Reefton Distilling Co. team approached us to launch Little Biddy in Australia we were thrilled. Their exceptional range of spirits is backed by an iconic and authentic story, and we can’t wait to build on their success to date.”
