Nothing ordinary, everything considered.
Between stimulus and response there is a space. A space wide enough to fill with the greatest ambitions and the wildest ideals. It was in this space that two friends fathered an idea for untraditional spirits from an untraditional country using untraditional techniques, and wrote the first chapters for a book where the ending is unknown, but the title is undeniably; Scapegrace.
An isolated isle. A ragged mountain. A forgotten spring. In to this banished land, a Scapegrace wanders. As the wind of change howls, the Scapegrace smiles, finding paths where others only see barriers. Here, in the embrace of flux, they are both artists and architects, crafting moments on serendipity from the unpredictable spin of the world.
Ten years of exploration through the ranges of Central Otago led Scapegrace to this place- an unspoiled canvas encircled by Mt Pisa and Lake Dunstan. Here, Scapegrace begin the monumental journey of establishing New Zealand's largest distillery project.
The rain that nourishes New Zealand today is as pristine as it was a millennium ago, untouched by the pollutants of industrial land masses. It's this ancient purity that defines every drop Scapegrace uses at the Distillery, strategically positioned along the shores of Lake Dunstan. Scapegrace's privileged access to the Clutha River draws directly from glacial runoff of the Southern Alps, New Zealands mightiest mountain range. This connection ensures that the clean, crisp taste of Scapegrace is not just perceivedit's inherently pure.
