Curiosity Gin – Curious Dry (700ml, 40% alc/vol)

Curious Dry is the world’s only gin made using only New Zealand native botanicals. Wild harvest Kawakawa and Horopito (Bush Pepper), Manuka and urban foraged Tarata (Lemonwood) make a perfectly balanced London Dry style gin with a distinctly NZ taste and deliver a curiously good G&T.

A classical dry gin with a bright herbaceous freshness, Curious Dry delivers what the traditional gin drinker expects with a quintessentially Kiwi flavour.

Perfect served in a traditional G+T garnished with a wedge of lemon. Curious Dry is also perfect to deliver a Kiwi twist to any traditional gin cocktail!

MALFY Gin Con Limone marries the finest Italian coastal lemons with our family's unique gin recipe to create a one-of-a kind spirit.  Distilled with classic Italian Juniper and Sfusato Lemon peels from the AMALFI Coast - it has delightful citrus and juniper on the nose with a complex flavour of anise, citrus and coriander.  Perfect with a premium tonic and a slice of lemon.

Cadrona - THE SOURCE Rosehip Gin is forged by the four seasons that blow through the Cardrona Valley, Southern Alps, New Zealand. A natural matrix of locally foraged rosehip, together with traditional juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, lemon and orange zest, vapour-distilled into our Single Malt Spirit. We refuse to chill-filter to deliver you full flavour and character. Because THE SOURCE is non-chill-filtered, you will notice the spirit clouds with dilution or when cold - a mark of distinction for this very rare and special drop.

Smooth tones of Guajillo Chilli, steeped to bring out savoury, chocolatey tones and balanced with candied jalapeno heat for a spicy finish. This gin is all the good things of spice balanced by the freshness of juniper and citrus. Great for balancing out sweet mixers and as a way to spice up classic cocktails.

Hastings Distillers was formed in 2019 by Kate Galloway and David Ramonteu, an inspiring couple with a background in winemaking and an artistic philosophy of production. Their award winning spirits are inspired as much by artists such as Tolstoy, Steiner and Tuwhare as by their scientific backgrounds in winemaking. The pair created the wine brands Alluviale and DaDa in a prior lifetime, before travelling through Europe and decided to marry distillation with therapeutic herbs. The result is a range of spirits using foraged, organic and biodynamic botanicals, pure organic spirit and water. Learn more about their story, taste the products and take some home from a visit. 

Biogro Certified 

Hastings Distillers commitment to organics is shown in their Biogro certification, ensuring all aspects of their production (botanicals, alcohol, water, packaging) has been checked, audited and certified by New Zealand’s largest certification agency. 

Packaging

The transparent seal on their bottles is made from environmentally friendly, compostable cellulose. The bottles themselves and label paper are made by long established European manufacturers under EU environmental regulations.

‘London Dry’

Historically, the term London Dry relates to the production methods. This dictates that the Gin must be made from pure 96% ABV neutral spirit of agricultural origin, all botanical flavour must be imparted through distillation and nothing can be added after, the Gin must be dry. While their Gins adhere to the law governing this term, they are a modern, unconventional interpretation of the classical style.

Tasting note: A complex and perfumed Gin containing 38 botanicals. Batch distilled in our 150L Arnold Holstein still and cut to strength with Kaweka spring water. Top notes of lime leaf, white currant, cedar, mango and floral hints. Exotic spice brings warmth and persistence to the palate.

Serving note: Perfect for an exotic Gin and Tonic or on ice as a sipping Gin. Used in cocktails, Albertine adds an ethereal dimension.

All Hastings Distillers products are certified organic with BioGro New Zealand. 

This limited release gin liqueur is our take on a traditional Japanese Umeshu, and is crafted by steeping green ume fruit in our New Zealand Garden Gin for ten months. 

The tart fruit is balanced with rock sugar, and the resulting Umeshu has flavours reminiscent of lifted florals, almond & apricot. 

Enjoy over ice, with soda water or in a cocktail. 

Whistlebird Gin has been developed by two blokes with a garage, lab grade equipment, artificial intelligence and napkin math. 

With their own unique and efficient method of distillation, the breaking down of botanical matter has become many times more efficient and less wasteful than traditional methods.

The botanical mass bathes in a bath of sound (the bird bath) engulfed by low frequency wave lengths which sound like a high pitched whistle. 

Maceration occurs when these sound waves uniformly break down our formula through vibration which ultimately saturates our blend with a Scream and a Whistle!

Along with the trademark distillation process this allows for a very fast, controlled, and efficient maceration and distillation. 

GOOD VIBES ONLY.

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.
