Inspired by the rugged coastlines of Aotearoa, it carries that same refined, coastal character, now elevated with a bold visual edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistilled 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eButterfly 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\u0026amp;Ts, and supremely elevated cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJuniper-forward, balanced, and exceptionally smooth.
