Bombay Dry Gin is a great old-school style London Gin utilising eight exotic botanicals. The precursor to the famous Bombay Sapphire this Gin offers a more traditional taste with strong juniper flavours and a powerful dry finish. 38% ABV

Established in 1769 and the world's best selling gin. The juniper is predominantly in the nose, but well balanced with fresh coriander notes, fresh citrus and spice backdrop on the palate.Source: thedrinkshop.com

The Reid brothers have backgrounds in engineering and winemaking, both of which gave their curious minds something related to work with when they began distilling gin. Reid + Reid gin has all the usual botanicals, coriander, juniper, lemons and more, but it is the addition of distinctly New Zealand botanicals that make it unique. The brothers like to think it's as much a celebration of great gin as a nod to New Zealand's fauna. In this case they've used manuka, kawakawa and horopito. It's a dry, refreshing gin, particularly suited to a long G & T, with plenty of ice and a twist of lemon.

Aronia Berry, Saffron, Pineapple, Butterfly Pea and Sweet Potato. Blended in set amounts at precise temperatures in a defined sequence, to create something made of nothing, and nothing made of something. This is that flavor. This is the taste of Black.

The colour is naturally black thanks to a unique collection of natural extracts including aronia berry, saffron, pineapple, butterfly pea, sweet potato and a collection of natural botanicals sourced from local plants, flowers and berries.

Taking it’s inspiration from the ocean, our Wave gin is our take on a more classic style of gin. We wanted to balance our bold Mountain gin with something that gives a nod to what you may be familiar with in a gin.

At a slightly higher proof of 47% to still maintain a boldness in cocktails, we use sugar kelp to give this gin a touch of sweetness, while being balanced with rose, subtle citrus and liquorice root. The Wave is versatile gin for all your cocktails and great for classic gin lovers.

Made in Wellington, New Zealand.

Hayman's - Unlike other LONDON DRY GINS available today, our is distilled by hand to a 150 year old Family recipe using a tradtional two-day process.  The gentle process creates a classically balanced Gin bursting with fresh Juniper, bright Citrus and a subtle warming spice.  It takes a little longer but we believe it is worth it.

For this, "The Botanist", small-batch, artisanal Islay gin we use nine of the classic gin aromatics; orris root, cassia bark, coriander seed, etc and augment these with a heady harvest of 22 wild, native island botanicals, hand-picked by our expert foraging team from the windswept hills, peat bogs and Atlantic shores of this Hebridean island of Islay.

This truly seasonal and exotic cocktail is then slow "simmer" distilled in our unique and cherished Lomond pot-still, "ugly betty". Betty prefers to work at low-pressure and won't be rushed. 

So our precious botanicals are slowly and gently coaxed into releasing their complex, signature aromatics. This was a unique project for our head distiller, Jim McEwan. Jim says he had to "learn a new dance" with Betty, and none of us knew what to expect from that first, achingly-slow 17 hour distillation. The result: a highly distinctive, complex, floral gin with outstanding finish and impeccable provenance.

 In an age of re-badged industrial gins, the Botanist stands out as a truly artisanal, small-batch, hand-crafted labor of love and distiller's art. A breath of botanical Islay in every glass.
