MEET THE DISTILLER: SOREN CRABB
Soren Crabb, ex-cruise ship captain, founded 1919 Distilling to create balanced, approachable spirits inspired by his global travels and passion for sharing great drinks.
Soren Crabb began his journey at sea—piloting cruise ships around the globe from Alaska to Antarctica. Along the way, his curiosity was piqued by the diverse local spirits he encountered in every port. Inspired by the rise of craft distilleries and driven by a desire to create something with his own hands, Crabb began visiting distilleries across the world—often venturing off the beaten track to learn from makers firsthand.
In 2017, he left the cruise industry, ordered his first palette of bottles from a bar in Alaska, and returned to Auckland to launch 1919 Distilling. Since then, Crabb has committed himself to crafting spirits that are complex, balanced, and above all, meant to be shared. His philosophy is simple: great spirits should be approachable, enjoyable, and free from pretension—designed to elevate memorable moments and bring people together.
