In this episode of Bold Company, Hannah and Tim sit down with Patsy Bass from Reefton Distilling Co. to explore how a small West Coast town is making a big impact on the global craft spirits stage.
Patsy shares the story behind building a premium distillery in Reefton: where tradition meets innovation and every bottle reflects the land, community, and pioneering spirit it comes from. The conversation highlights the strength of small communities, the power of local talent, and how innovation often grows from solving practical, on-the-ground challenges.
Tune in for an inspiring discussion about regional entrepreneurship, coaster pride, global ambition, and why sometimes the most world-class ideas come from places that fly under the radar.
