Hector’s Premium Dry Gin is a luxuriously polished, New Zealand craft gin inspired by the Hector’s dolphin, one of the world’s rarest dolphins, found only around the coastlines of Aotearoa. That sense of rarity carries through in the spirit itself, with a remarkable botanical profile and a beautifully composed coastal character that feels elevated from the first pour. 

A classic London-dry base has been taken up several levels with native sea kelp, manuka, thyme, lemon myrtle, orange, and lavender. The gin balances its extensive array of botanicals perfectly, delivering a superbly structured profile. 

Distilled in small batches, they've handled the complexity elegantly, maintaining a crisp and clean profile, while leaving room for layers of new flavour to dance over the palate with every sip. 

Expect a bright citrus lift, soft herbaceous detail, subtle floral sweetness, and a gentle briny minerality that adds real depth and sophistication. The finish is smooth, clean and lingering, echoing ocean air and rugged New Zealand shores in a way that feels both distinctive and refined.

From the carefully considered liquid to the bespoke reusable bottle, everything about Hector’s has been designed to feel premium, making it a standout choice for gifting, top-tier G&Ts, and elevated cocktails.

An easy 10/10 in our books.
