Auckland Cocktail Week, 2026.

The WSDC team made the trip up north to immerse ourselves in a packed schedule of masterclasses, events, and celebrations alongside some of the best people in Auckland hospitality.

Supporting bartenders has always been central to who we are. They're at the heart of what we do, why we do it, and the reason we continue to strive for better. Thank you Auckland Cocktail Week for bringing the industry together, to everyone who joined us at our events, and to the venues, distilleries, and individuals who made the week such a success.

It is customary in Scottish folklore to name a still after the wife of either the building owner or head distiller. For us, that was Agnes - Wife of Herbert Rawson, the original dentist who built our 1906 building for his home and surgery. 'Bert', for short.

Four medals. One very proud team.

We're thrilled to share that Woodward St Distilling Co. has taken home four medals in the 2026 International Wine and Spirits Competition, including a silver medal for Penguins Crossing Gin and bronze medal for Chi Chi Vodka, alongside gold in the Gin & Tonic category and bronze in Vodka & Tonic.

Built on a relentless pursuit of quality and a passion for creating exceptional drinking experiences, we're incredibly grateful to see our spirits recognised on the international stage.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to support what we do.

Supporting creativity, community & culture.

We were incredibly proud to sponsor the official opening of Just Foreplay at Rice Pudding gallery last month - an exhibition intersecting q***r and feminist ideologies, within the mediums of painting, photography, and sculpture.

A special shout-out to exhibiting artist Nadia Jamieson, who you may also recognise from Bert's Bar . It's always a privilege to support the talented people who help make our venue so special.

Woodward St Distilling are proud to be working with Sam at Wag & Co as a key distribution partner.

Wag & Co bring a strong portfolio and a clear focus on quality New Zealand brands. As both a good friend of ours and an expert in his field, we're stoked to have Sam on board.

If you're looking to pour our spirits and tonics in Auckland, Manawātu/Whanganui, Taranaki or Wellington/Wairarapa, Sam and the team have you covered.

Chi Chi Vodka embodies what's often overlooked when it comes to vodka.

Head distiller Mikey Ball saw how the spirit was too often reduced to its neutrality, created to disappear into a drink. Chi Chi is different. Crafted to elevate the experience, it brings texture and complexity to a cocktail or vodka soda through the use of koji culture and coconut.

Vodka Martini. Using Chi Chi Vodka, Dry Vermouth and a lemon twist.

A true classic. Clean, precise, and designed to let Chi Chi's subtle cereal-like texture carry through every sip.

Best enjoyed in the tasting room. Join us for a drink this week.
