How can something come from nothing?

It is upon this fundamental age-old question that Third Island Vodka is built.

Vodka, by definition, should be as close to 'nothing' as possible - completely devoid of all distinction, character, and individuality.

We disagree. And as it turns out, our answer was around us all along.

Blessed with only pure Stewart Island rain as our water source, our innovative filtration technique incorporates sustainably-foraged paua, mussel, and oyster shells from the pristine Southern Ocean.

A final, polishing touch of free-flowing tannin-rich waters collected off the very rock of Rakiura herself all result in an exquisitely smooth mouthfeel and delicate minerality fully absent of any pronounced additional flavour.

When it comes to vodka, our philosophy has never faltered: A little something makes all the difference, for nothing hardly comes close.

It's our classic Third Island Gin - locally foraged Manuka, Rimu, and Horopito showered in pure Stewart Island rainwater - now of seafaring stature.

In the 18th Century, the Royal Navy began the practice of storing gin rations below deck alongside gunpowder.

As such it was crucial that, should a barrel burst, the wet gunpowder would still ignite in the heat of battle.

Anything under 57.15% - or "gunpowder proof" - was barred from ships, while any gin stronger was welcomed aboard.

And with that, Navy Strength Gin was born.

Rakiura rain. Rakiura botanicals. Rakiura, bottled.

A traditional dry gin with the spice of rainforest botanicals, hints of fresh citrus peel, and cassia bark. Locally foraged manuka, rimu, and horopito dance with juniper and coriander seed in a shower of the freshest rainwater on the planet.

As New Zealand’s southernmost distillery, we produce boutique spirits that celebrate Stewart Island - our rich culture, colorful histories, and pristine environment - in every sip
