Hector's Platinum Ink Gin 700ml

Hector’s colour-changing Platinum Ink Gin is the striking counterpart to their Premium Dry Gin, built on the same luxuriously polished New Zealand base, with an added sense of theatre in the glass. Inspired by the rugged coastlines of Aotearoa, it carries that same refined, coastal character, now elevated with a bold visual edge.

A classic London dry base has been taken up several levels with native sea kelp, mānuka, thyme, lemon myrtle, orange, and lavender. The gin balances its extensive array of botanicals seamlessly, delivering a superbly structured profile that feels both complex and composed.

Distilled in small batches, the complexity is handled elegantly, maintaining a crisp, clean profile while allowing layers of flavour to move across the palate with each 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.

Butterfly pea flower gives the gin its deep ink-blue colour, shifting to a vivid pink-mauve when tonic is added, bringing a touch of drama without compromising the integrity of the spirit itself. It’s the same beautifully composed gin at its core, now with a visual twist that makes it especially suited to gifting, exciting G&Ts, and supremely elevated cocktails.

Juniper-forward, balanced, and exceptionally smooth. Bright and refined with lifted citrus, elegant sweetness, soft herbal notes and a clean dry core, finished with subtle saline minerality, smooth coastal freshness and a lingering elegant finish.
