Our Distillery uses
every day.
OUR EQUIPMENT
Our distilling equipment isn't just machinery - it's the beating heart of everything we do at Black Collar. Every piece has been custom-built to craft each drop of our spirits with ruthless precision. We didn't cut corners. Our gear ranks among the most advanced on the planet.
While the industry clings to 1800s relics, Black Collar blazes ahead. We're not just keeping up with change - we're driving it. Only a handful of distilleries worldwide dare to push the boundaries of sustainable distilling like we do.
We keep our recipes, fermentation protocols, and production methods locked in tradition - that's non-negotiable. But when it comes to the actual distilling? We unleash modern technology without apology. The result: spirits crafted with razor-sharp efficiency that slash our environmental footprint while delivering uncompromising quality. This is sustainable distilling with an edge.
Sustainability
Every drop of Black Collar starts with sustainably grown sugarcane – whether you're sipping our gin, rum, or vodka, it's all born from this single, powerful ingredient. Our distillery runs on nature's raw energy: wind cutting through the air, water rushing with force, and solar rays blazing overhead.
Water isn't just precious—it's everything. That's why every drop at our distillery stays in the game. We engineered a closed-loop cooling system that obliterated our production water waste completely. Zero. Zilch. Gone.
Four brutal years of design, testing, and real-world trials. We crashed and burned more times than we can count. But quitting? Not in our makeup. We locked onto our target and refused to let go.
2022 marked our fifth shot at greatness—and we nailed it. Game over. No looking back.
The system works. We won.
Our packaging boxes come straight from sustainably grown New Zealand forests – locally sourced, locally made. We take the cardboard inserts our bottles arrive in and give them new life through upcycling. Every piece of our packaging hits 100% recyclable.
Order from our online shop and your bottle arrives in cardboard. Zero bubble wrap. Zero polystyrene. Zero compromise on the environment when you order direct.
Black Collar doesn't mess around when it comes to sourcing. Every ingredient comes from suppliers we've personally vetted and investigated. We dig deep to make sure workers get fair treatment and products arrive bursting with authentic flavor. From bold Eastern European Juniper to rich organic molasses straight from Mozambique – we scrutinise every supplier because doing right matters more than cutting corners.
