In the midst of an uncertain world there's always a few certainties and one of those is pouring a delicious gin & tonic and raising a glass to doing anything you damn well like. Distinct and refreshing, and born out of our love to tinker, craft, and experiment, we've created an award-winning gin with a subtle citrus aroma and understated herbal notes. 

Upfront, this gin has aromas of lemon zest, orange & juniper, followed by a floral mix of pink peppercorns, chamomile & kawakawa berries on the palate. The gin is also supported with a mild herbaceous/earthy combination of horopito, star anise & cardamom. A versatile gin that can be incorporated in almost any gin-based cocktail.

What makes our Aotearoa Dry Gin unique?

We source and use Horopito from Forest Herbs research – New Zealand's first and only commercially grown Horopito plantation.

For a simple G&T, this is perfectly matched with our Fever-Tree Tonic (or your own favourite), garnished with a slice of lemon or cucumber.

Tried and trusted

Every now and then I think there may be something else out there I could try as my go to regular, and so far I keep coming back to 'my' Aotea Dry. Never fails to hit the spot.

Refreshing botanical fragrance

Love this one, easy to drink and reminds me of the smell of bush when tramping. True fragrance of Aotearoa indeed. Best value for money, excellent fast delivery for online order. Can’t fault it.

I've been buying (and drinking!) Good George gin as my 'go to' gin for a while now. The Aotea Dry gin has that wee* extra something that takes the level of enjoyment to a new level.
(* That's little to those up north)
