Gin

Southward Distilling Co. - There is a place where adventure starts.  This wild place is the inspiration for our distillery.  Made up of garden grown, wild and traditional botanicals. We are a modern take on distilling inspired by the wild beauty of New Zealand.

A gin born from a rogue hop finding its way into a batch of gin. Showcasing floral Nelson Sauvin Hops with grapefruit tones, this gin carries a bold, round mouthfeel bringing unique New Zealand flavours to life. Combining the best of what brewing and distilling has to offer this unique local gin is surprising and full.  

A vibrant Raspberry Gin from Warner's! One third of each bottle is made up of fresh raspberries, blackberries and hand-picked hedgerow elderflower, making for a wonderfully jammy spirit. The gin aims to bottle the British countryside, however over the last century or so, intense farming has caused a steep decline in hedgerows across the country. So, Warner's launched this gin in partnership with People?s Trust for Endangered Species (PTES), helping conserve the local landscape and safeguarding the 130 conservation priority species that rely on hedgerows. Fantastic gin for a good cause, what's not to like?

Tasting notes: A good hit of tart raspberry pur?e followed by more fresh, vibrant blackberries and piney juniper. More floral notes begin to emerge, hedgerow elderflower peeks through with blackcurrant jam on the finish.

Island Gin's award winning gin, nicknamed "Shark Alley" strength. At 57% it is not for the faint hearted.

Crafted in a copper still, off grid, 5 hours by barge off the coast of New Zealand.

Their unique bottles are designed to reflect a Kina shell and are all made in New Zealand using using a sustainable glass production.

The Poet: Local Citrus creates a traditional dry gin. Summer in your G&T even when it?s snowing. 

Botanics: Juniper, Coriander, Orange & Lime Zest, Cardamom, Orris Root

About Fenton Street Distillery

Fenton Street Gin is crafted in Stratford at an elevation of 310m/1017 feet. They capture Botanics at altitude. Their botanics are not distilled separately then blended. To ensure flavours are balanced they are carefully measured in much the same way as a chef creates a dish.

Due to the freshness and volume of the botanicals, some of the Fenton Street gins may appear cloudy when tonic is added or sipped on ice. This is because their gins are non-chill filtered. Stuart Greenhill, head distiller said: ?We don?t want to chill-filter. The whole point of our gin is to capture flavours from carefully selected and measured botanics. It seems unproductive to distil in what is essentially a neutral flavoured spirit and then filter out the natural oils again.?

The Artist: Five Botanics slot alongside Horopito and ginger to produce a spicy yet beautifully balanced gin. A favourite of those with a mature palette, fondness for whisky or seek a unique New Zealand Gin. 

Botanics: Juniper, Coriander, Cassia Bark, Nutmeg, Ginger, Horopito, Pepper, Kawakawa

1919 Distilling - named for the year that New Zealanders stood up for their rights and voted down prohibition, the original gin (41% abv) is locally produced in their custom made still. Created using Otago cherries, manuka honey, organic lemons, and oranges, plus botanicals including juniper, orris root and cinnamon, this is a classic gin that celebrates old world charm, passion and charisma.

Combining their scientific know-how with a little wilderness, Coromandel Distilling brought together the conventional and the eccentric, the classic and the unexpected. This is the tradition and art of distilling combined with the magic of the land and the sea. 

Coromandel Dry Gin is born from a premium sugarcane alcohol base. The unmatched purity and 'sweet memory' of this base allows the fruity aromas from botanicals such as Pomegranate and Blueberry to perfectly blend with the more spicy as well as the citrus notes. 

One third of the twenty carefully selected botanicals are either grown in their very own distiller?s garden or wild foraged. Then distilled in micro-batches in their custom-made 150L Carl still each batch is carefully bottled into no more than 133 individually numbered bottles.

In collaboration with Callaghan Innovation laboratories this gin?s extraordinary and distinctive flavour has been scientifically analysed and confirmed to be bursting with flavours and aromas achieved through a relentless pursuit of perfection.

Bold, balanced and smooth, please welcome the Humdinger Dry Gin. 

This old soul is a celebration of the juniper berry, and a twist on a classic Dry Gin. Subtle citrus is first on the palate, before transforming into a pleasant juniper middle, that then morphs into a long warm finish thanks to a dash of nutmeg and liquorice. Subsequently it leaves you thinking, "don't mind if I do".

Pot distilled to maximise the flavour, using the authentic London Dry method - with only water added post-distillation.

This gin is fantastic on ice, or if you fancy G&T's then it's recommended to pair with East Imperial Tonic Water, Royal Botanic Tonic, or Old World Tonic. The recommended garnishes are a kaffir lime leaf or a fresh orange slice. With this gin being so well balanced, it is a fantastic option for cocktail making too.

Made by the same folks who created the award-winning Gin Mare, this gin is a tribute to the pioneers and heritage behind spirits. It features a hefty load of vibrant botanicals distilled over seven distillations, including juniper, lime, kumquat, lemon, pink and green grapefruit, mandarin, lemongrass, bitter and sweet oranges - distilled in that order. With a bottle designed to look like an antique medicine bottle, this is one to store at the front of the drinks cabinet!

Tasting Notes: Bright and vibrant citrus notes with sharp and fruity grapefruit, herby juniper and lemongrass, boiled orange sweets.

A botanical gin, small batch distilled. Infused with Elderberries & Mint Tips, along with locally foraged Wild Thyme, Manuka and Douglas Fir.

Many have told my story. But only one has distilled the essence of this place to make poems that run over your tongue. Tales of the harbour told in gin. 

Named for the Hector?s dolphins that swim off Akaroa, Hector?s Gin comes in flavour profiles foraged from Banks Peninsula.

Malfy Gin CON ARANCIA is distilled by the Vergnano family in Italy - the birthplace of Gin - using the peel of Sicilian Blood Oranges, Italian Juniper and four other botanicals with their traditional Vacuum Still.  Blood Oranges are prized variety in Sicily - and harvested in November - their rich red colour develops from the cool Mediterranean nights.

A Navy Strength bottling of Roots Marlborough Dry Gin with the addition of organic Akaroa giant kelp and Hawke's Bay hemp seed. A crisp and robust 'London Dry' style gin with aromatic reminiscence of the stormy Pacific seas. Named after the strong Norwest winds of the south Pacific and prevailing Marlborough weather systems.

Distilled entirely on estate from eight seasonally sourced botanicals and gunpowder proofed in recognition of Royal Navy gins of old.

To make this special annual release Cam distills Christmas puddings, then ages this gin for a year in 100-year-old Muscat barrels. The gin has aromatics of classic juniper and a hint of cinnamon, backed up with a rich palate and a hint of sweetness from the Muscat. Sip it neat, mix it with ginger ale or beer, or try it in some great cocktails.

Flavourful and fresh, zesty yet berryful with a long smooth finish.

Rock Rose Gin gets its wonderful flavour from a carefully selected and put together creation of local and traditional botanicals. Each one meticulously chosen for their flavour properties to create the perfect taste.
