Meet Fanni Chanel, our hot tempered redhead with an ample caboose, delicate curves and 200L of rectified mischief, was finally installed into her new home at the Elemental Distillery.⁣ ⁣ A proud moment for the Elemental crew and a perfect setup to deliver our new #RootsDryGin.

Appreciating the morning view from the new loading pad.⁣ ⁣ Today we begin the cedar cladding on the containers, tomorrow the first floor and external stairs arrive.⁣ ⁣ #ViewFromTheOffice #ElementalDistillers #OpeningSoon #MorningVista #OnlyMarlborough

TOP FLOOR!!! Craning the office / tasting room atop our freshly cladded boutique container distillery. Not a bad day. External stairs and balcony decking affixing today, final touches in by the end of the week. #LegoForAdults #ElementalDistillers #CraftDistillery #RootsDryGin

DISTILLERY UPDATE... Upstairs tasting room/office and deck in place. Stairs attached, mains power and fittings connected. Next week it's balustrades and final interior fit-out followed by compliance inspections. #April2019 #ElementalDIstillers #WorthTheWait #ContainerBuild

The Money Shot. View of evening sun over the mountains from the gin balcony. Ummm, I was doing something... what was I up here for again? Oh well, maybe I'll stay. 😎 #ElementalDistillery #NZDistillery #BoutiqueDistillery #RootsDryGin #ElementalBitters #ContainerDistillery
