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.  

This is a recipe inspired by the diversity of our land: Oaxaca. We use our GAD agave spirit as the base, then we macerate the 8 botanics: juniper and 7 botanics from Oaxaca: avocado leaf, yerba santa, cacao and Oaxaca tangerine amongst others; then we make a triple distillation.

This is a Gin made with local ingredients as a homage to the diversity of our region.

Notes – There is a balance between the avocado, yerba santa and the juniper with a final touch of agave.

Galliano Amaretto is a rich, well balanced almond liqueur with an ABV of 28%. It is the perfect balance of almond and cherries, roasted cocoa beans & a hint of bourbon vanilla. Galliano Amaretto has a ‘luxurious, luscious’ taste. The viscosity is high which gives a ‘full mouth feel’.

All the ingredients and aromatic distillates are carefully blended at Maraschi e Quirici in Torino.

To the eye: Perfectly colourless. Perfect limpidity To the nose: Strong aromatic intensity, well emphasised by the alcoholic strength. The first impression is one of freshness balanced by floral notes of star aniseed essential oil. Then smooth and complex notes brought by the other essential oils and aromatic herbs. The strength and purity of the alcohol allow the lingering of these perceptions. To the mouth: The first impression is one of great smoothness, of an agreeable unctuousness resulting from the right sugar/alcohol balance. Then appear the fresh and stimulating notes of star aniseed. The aromatic complexity of green aniseed and other herbs can then be perceived, intimately mixed with the aromatic strength of star aniseed. The strength of both alcohol and aniseed notes give way to a pleasing sensation of warmth. The surprising combination of the freshness of aniseed and the warmth of alcohol linger for a long time.source: mixit.com

This Bourbon-based honey-sweet liqueur manages to mask the alcoholic burn, powerful punch and everything else "wild" about Wild Turkey in a thick, viscous, golden solution that features hints of citrus and caramel. The Bourbon flavour is there if you look for it, but dialed way down, overwhelmed by the honey. Expect an extremely long finish, as if your mouth were coated with the sticky stuff.source: gayot.com

Hollywood A-lister Jason Mamoa needs no introduction… his vodka though - pronounced 'may-lee' is Grain based, single distillation vodka packaged in unique 750ml bottles made from recycled post-consumer glass. Seven years in the making, its designed to be enjoyed neat. Meili exhibits a bright, smooth, and effortless flavour profile. The quality of their ingredients can be immediately noted and appreciated across all palates, raising the bar for what's possible within a Vodka.

Read The Meili Journey below....

WATER
The soul of Meili spirit is water. Instinctively, they sought one of the purest water sources available. An ancient aquifer formed over 300 million years ago ushers alpine snow and rainfall through miles of vast underground caverns - filtering and infusing itself through the veins of natural springs. Meili takes pride in using this “living water” to distil and proof their spirits to bottle, resulting in an incredibly refreshing, unpolluted, and genuinely remarkable flavour. Their regenerative water source is considered one of the purest on Earth by EPA standards.

EARTH
‍A harmonious marriage of native and seasonal grains brings a bright, smooth, and effortless flavour profile.
‍Their grains are sourced locally on their own farms, operated by the same family for generations. These farms are located centrally to their water source and distillery, resulting in the smallest carbon footprint possible. A factor that is very important to them. To honour the Earth, they ensure that Meili is created, sourced, and produced as ethically, environmentally friendly, and humanely as possible.

AIR
The final "breath of life" into their spirit is air. From beginning to end, Montana's crisp, cool mountain air influences our vodka and its ingredients in several unique ways. The 11,000-foot elevation at our aquifer's peak allows alpine snow and rainfall to remain untainted before its subterranean journey to the collection source. At the final distillation stage, their vodka is set to rest and breathe before bottling, resulting in a smoother flavour profile.

FIRE
The heart of their spirit, fire, not only powers their stills - but also refines their beautifully unique glass. Their flame burns twice as bright - indefinitely, due to Meili's 100% post-consumer recycled bottle. Vast mountains of broken, discarded glass are heated to molten masses, reborn, and repurposed into something functional and exquisite.

This is why no two bottles are alike. The antique texture, full of organic imperfections, and the stunning Georgia green hue. An appropriate vessel for our outstanding spirit.

Meili represents the adventurer's heart, the purity of discovery, and the spirit of exploration. Every ingredient is purveyed with the utmost quality and character in mind. Handcrafted by friends, intent to be shared. Inspired by the journey - and those met along the way.

Triple Juniper Gin combines three different distillation processes, each uncovering the bright and earthy qualities of juniper.

Juniper berries are first steeped in Australian wheat spirit for 24 hours. This steep, along with fresh juniper is then added to the still before finally, more juniper is added to the vapour basket to capture the fresh and floral juniper character.

Our eight other botanicals include coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, lemon peel, lime peel, liquorice root, cinnamon and Australian pepper berry.

Lunatic & Lovers vision is to distill the finest botanical rum this world has ever tasted. Are they mad to imagine they can? Or would it be greater lunacy to assume they cannot?

To bring figment to fruition, they passionately craft a base of rich, Pure Single Rum to be re-distilled using a highly unorthodox method of vapour infusion to capture the delightfully unique botanical flavours & aromatics.

Thus creating an almost entirely new category of ?Botanical? Rum - a spirit born of imagination and distilled with whole-hearted dedication

BOTANICALS:
Roasted Dandelion & Burdock Root, Horopito, Mairehau, Orange Peel, Nutmeg, Pimento, Bay Leaf, Orris Root, Cacao Nib, Coffee Bean and Green Cardamom.

TASTING NOTES:
A sophisticated and complex spirit with light citrus top notes, layered over distinctive herbs and spices. There is a gentle heat on the palate which develops into an earthy, warm base.
The richness of our hand-crafted rum works in delightful tandem with the selected botanicals to create an unashamedly unique organoleptic experience. Mixologists will have plenty of opportunity to indulge their creative tendencies but on a simpler level, Lunatic and Lover Silver plays well with a good quality tonic or soda that allows its distinctive character to shine through.
