Psssst…Ecology & Co has new owners…

If you’ve been part of Ecology & Co’s extraordinary journey for a while, you’re probably not impartial to a little change to the status quo. As one of the world’s first alcohol-free distilleries, the early adopters of our artisan drinks needed, by definition, to have a disruptive streak. 

If you are new here, welcome. We suspect you too may be looking for something a little different.

We’re happy to tell you that you are all in the right place.

Ecology & Co hasn’t changed. We’re still crafting some of New Zealand’s leading distilled alcohol-free, artificial flavour-free, sugar-free, hangover-free spirits that are big on flavour.  We’ve simply changed owners.

Having built Ecology & Co from their kitchen into one of New Zealand’s pioneering success stories, founders, Will and Diana Miller (known to many of you), passed the reins onto fellow Kiwi entrepreneur, Jason Dellaca, and his passionate, talented team at Brandhouse.

Based in Christchurch, Brandhouse is a proudly-Kiwi, family-owned business that will continue the New Zealand entrepreneurial spirit within which Ecology & Co was founded. As the owner and CEO, Jason caught the bug for creating new and exciting products from his entrepreneurial family (of Postie Plus retail fame) and has built a talented team of brand creators, distillers and distributors at Brandhouse who are excited to take forward the legacy Will and Diana created.

All the stuff you love but amplified.

Whilst holding onto the principles of outstanding quality, big taste and sustainability (with a New Zealand twist) – all the ingredients that make Ecology & Co special – this next chapter will involve some exciting new plans.

Firstly, we’ll be taking New Zealand to the world with the growth of the Ecology & Co brand into new markets (we couldn’t deny the rest of the world any longer!) and extending the product range to give you even more choice when you are looking for an alcohol-free spirit to complement the occasions and moments you want to remember.

Same quality, lower price.

Thanks to upgraded production facilities, Brandhouse will craft Ecology & Co’s signature non-alcoholic spirits more efficiently than ever. This smoother process means you can get your favourite London Dry and Asian Spice 700ml bottles at a lower price of NZ$49.99 (saving $20 per bottle). And our RTD cans are now 25% cheaper, at $29.99 for an 8-pack. This discount involves zero compromise on quality, flavour or taste. That’s a promise.

Expert distillers.

With household names like Last Minute Gin (New Zealand’s #1-selling gin) in the family, the Brandhouse team includes master distillers who are ready to apply their craft to the non-alc space. So, you can rest assured that your alcohol-free spirits will always be expertly distilled and blended with some exciting new flavor profiles and products in the making.

Ecology will be popping up in more places.

You’ll also start to see your favourite Ecology & Co products popping up in more retailers here in New Zealand. Check back here again for news on the shelves that will be filling up with Ecology & Co goodness.
