Etsu Yuzu Gin has been macerated for seven days using traditional botanicals such as Japanese Yuzu, juniper berries, liquorice root, angelica, coriander and matcha. Etsu Double Yuzu Gin is fresh with citrus notes, using natural ingredients, giving this gin a unique and light finish.

Etsu Double Orange and Etsu Double Yuzu Gin are distilled at the Akita Distillery, in the Akita prefecture of Japan in the Honshu Island. Akita Prefecture is located on the coast of the Sea of Japan and extends east to the ?u Mountains, the longest mountain range in Japan. It is these mountains that Etsu Double Orange and Etsu Double Yuzu take their fresh and light aromas from.

Etsu Double Orange Gin and Etsu Double Yuzu have been macerated for seven days using traditional botanicals. After maceration, only the gin is distilled without the botanicals, which allows the oils to infuse. Only after the distillation process is fresh water from the mountain source added, which gives these gin their fresh taste.

Raspberry, rose, Pink Lady Apple and hibiscus - a softly scented gin that is sure to entrance those who like their gin floral, fruity and prettily pink.

Aromas of candied orange peel, chili pepper, and cardamom follow through on a round, silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-full body with sharp waves of buttercream, cayenne pepper, candied ginger, and piney juniper on the fiery, wintergreen and lemon verbena accented finish. Lots of gusto here that will make bold, flavorful cocktails especially with tonic

Welcome to a gin experience that's both refreshingly fruity and proudly local. Our Pink Gin encapsulates the rich diversity of South Canterbury's terrain, crafted meticulously with foraged botanicals that sing the song of our homeland.

At the heart of its vibrant hue and luscious flavor are bounteous local blackcurrants. These juicy gems, rich in both colour and taste, are paired beautifully with the gentle floral hints of rosehip, diligently foraged from the Rangitata.

To achieve perfect harmony, a hint of sweetness dances with the tartness of the blackcurrants, culminating in a Pink Gin that's both exquisitely balanced and deeply local.

Commercial description...

Blackadder is proud to introduce Aurantia, our pot-distilled gin, handcrafted for us in The Netherlands.

The name Aurantia comes from the Latin Aurantium, found within the citrus family. It is these citrus notes that give the layers of mouthwatering flavour to our gin.

Aurantia is great for a classic G&T, or just poured over ice. This is gin with a bold, yet soft, sweet-and-sour citrus twist. Perfect for cocktails and long drinks.

Aurantia is bottled with the same care and attention we take with all of our spirits. This means no chill filtration and minimal intervention so as to ensure Aurantia is a truly pure and natural gin.

Lazy Days Lychee Gin is an ode to those days where you ‘should be’ doing lots but are deciding stuff it, adult responsibilities can wait while you do whatever the hell you want.  It’s different for all of us what these days look like; for some it’s a day tramping up a mountainside, for others it’s endless episodes of trash reality tv. Whatever your lazy day looks like, this is the gin for it.

Little Biddy^? Gin ? Gold Label is characterised by a backbone of distilled local grain spirit, wild water, and hand harvested native botanicals, boasting an elevated sophistication that is truly divine.

Little Biddy^? Gin ? Gold Label displays a botanical intensity reminiscent of the loftiest heights of the West Coast rainforest and the purest depths of the wild water feeding it. Foraged Watercress, Snow Moss, Kahikatea tips, and Toatoa all deliver a soulful aromatic experience. It exhibits a bright, and surprising effervescence on the nose, subtle hints of wasabi freshness, sweet caramelised lime, and a delicate earthed minerality.

Created in honour of Reefton legend Little Biddy, a pipe-smoking, gin-toting, 4 foot tall gold prospector.  Our search for native botanicals takes us deep into the same West Coast rainforest where Biddy once fossicked for gold, to craft a uniquely New Zealand selection of small batch distilled gins with attitude.
