Co-founder of non-alcoholic craft brewery, Bootleggers. In 2016, Bootleggers was awarded the Wellington Gold Award for Best Emerging Start-up, gaining the business and brand significant media coverage, attention and advocacy both locally and abroad in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Japan. After building the business and brand, the majority stake was sold to Parkers Beverages, and we're proud to have raised a further $350,000 in crowdfunding for 33% on Snowball Effect in 2020.The inspiration for the business began in 2010 when my business partner and long time friend James Waugh, a curious local bartender of Wellington’s iconic Matterhorn, felt premium spirits weren't getting mixers of equal stature. He sought to create a range of premium beverages perfectly paired to these top-shelf tipples. Together we teamed up and Bootleggers was created. From a basement in Brooklyn - the pursuit of perfection began by hand-sourcing ingredients from around the world. Over 100s of after hours and secret recipes, James developed the knack for producing true ‘craft’ mixers, from a clandestine bar, beneath the floorboards of his home. Today, a celebration of produce, provenance and people - underground and above many of the rest in quality, taste, and usability with the best in premium spirits. Breaking contracts and raising spirits, the business works exclusively with bars and restaurants that value high-quality ingredients perfectly crafted to accompany premium spirits. Partnering with bartenders, Bootleggers supports their stories - giving them ingredients that enable and advance their creativity in the pursuit to pour world-class cocktails and mixed drinks.
