Résidence Spirits

Résidence Spirits is the vision of founders Mathieu Leboeuf and Tamiko. Their diverse backgrounds come together into one unified vision: spirits crafted with intention, culture, and tradition. At Résidence, they believe that flavor can be a bridge between cultures. Sri Lanka’s spice, Australia’s coastal freshness, and France’s centuries-old distilling traditions all find their place here. Each bottle reflects the couple’s shared curiosity, deep respect for tradition, and vision to create something honest and meaningful.

All Résidence spirits are meticulously distilled in Charentes. Mathieu and Tamiko blend Old World expertise with sun-soaked Australian sensibility and the bold, aromatic influence of Sri Lankan culture. The result is a range of small-batch, organic, beautifully balanced spirits. Résidence uses agro-ecological principles to protect soil health, biodiversity, and the people who farm and distill the raw ingredients. The goal is simple: produce exceptional spirits while strengthening the ecosystems and communities that make them possible.

Mathieu Leboeuf grew up in Charentes, surrounded by vineyards, small copper stills, and generations of French distilling know-how. His palate and technical skill are a direct result of his upbringing and heritage. The other half of the Résidence team is Tamiko Leboeuf, who brings the energy of Australia and the warmth of her Sri Lankan family traditions, vibrant flavors, spice, and a global perspective to the Résidence experience.
