Gin

It's not a classic London dry gin, but a vision of what a NZ dry gin can be - smooth, bushy & dry.

On the nose this gin is weighed down by kawakawa while the citrus notes of lemon, orange, and grapefruit light up your olfactory bulb. Thyme lurks in the background. On tasting, the kawakawa is still predominant, but the thyme comes to the fore along with layers of sage, liquorice, and tarata, which binds all these aromas together. There is a long liquorice and citrus finish.

This gin is a mix of traditional herbs from the Mediterranean and Aotearoa, blending the culinary histories of Julien and Michael.

Gion but not as you know it! This classic gin is layered with Rata, Manuka Honey, Pear and a twist of Amarillo & Mosaic hops for added complexity.

Named after the village where the gin is made. Made with spring water from the farm.
You?ll struggle to keep a lid on this one.

As you take a sip of our inherently Indian gin, you're greeted by a beautiful freshness from our Indian citrus peels that include Gonghraj from the East, Oranges from Nagpur, Indian Sweet Limes & Nimbu from Goa. Black pepper, coriander and mace follow to give our gin a strong spiced middle. Liquorice, cassia and nutmeg make the finishing flourish warm and sweet.

The recipe for Stranger & Sons, was passed down by a mythical two-tailed creature who appeared to us in a dream. This mythical creature made famous for her gin, was last spotted roaming the Western Ghats of India.

Ink Gin is a premium dry gin made with 13 organic botanicals, including a mix of traditional and Australian natives. Like all true gins, juniper berries are the largest botanical component, however the defining character of Ink Gin comes from the second tier botanicals led by locally grown lemon myrtle leaf, coriander seed, Tasmanian pepper berry and freshly peeled sundried sweet orange peel. 

These major ingredients give Ink Gin its fresh piney, spicy and citrusy aroma and flavour. The third group of minor botanicals include elderflower, cinnamon, cardamom, angelica root, oris root, licorice root and lemon peel. Like a pinch of salt, these minor ingredients are critical to the end result adding perfume, body and balance. 

The final ingredient is added in a post-distillation infusion. The specially prepared petals of the butterfly pea flower are steeped in the still for twenty-four hours to give Ink Gin its distinctive colour.

The Cotswolds Distillery in Stourton is up and running - hooray! This is their Cotswolds Dry Gin, made with juniper, coriander and angelica root macerated in their pure wheat spirit for 24 hours. Following this, they add a botanical selection including bay leaf, grapefruit, lime, black pepper, cardamom seed and Cotswolds lavender to their carter head still for distillation. To bring it down to bottling strength, a robust 46% ABV, they use naturally refined Cotswolds water.

Nose: Light, floral juniper blends well with the Cotswolds lavender. This soon gives way to the vibrant grapefruit peel and warming cardamom.

Palate: Opening with grapefruit, fresh juniper and black pepper, followed by herbaceous notes of bay leaf, coriander and angelica. More lavender brings a bright, delicate character to the full-bodied gin.

Finish: Refreshingly clean on the palate, with lime and bay leaf.

The Vintner: Oak immersed in red wine for 24 months, distilled off with Juniper, Coriander, Cassia Bark, Kawakawa, Tarata, Angelica, Lemon Zest, Horopito, Pepper & Nutmeg, Honey. A favourite of the distiller. Bronze medalist at NZ Spirit Awards 2020.

About Fenton Street Distillery

Fenton Street Gin is crafted in Stratford at an elevation of 310m/1017 feet. They capture Botanics at altitude. Their botanics are not distilled separately then blended. To ensure flavours are balanced they are carefully measured in much the same way as a chef creates a dish.

Due to the freshness and volume of the botanicals, some of the Fenton Street gins may appear cloudy when tonic is added or sipped on ice. This is because their gins are non-chill filtered. Stuart Greenhill, head distiller said: ?We don?t want to chill-filter. The whole point of our gin is to capture flavours from carefully selected and measured botanics. It seems unproductive to distil in what is essentially a neutral flavoured spirit and then filter out the natural oils again.?

Peddlers is the world?s first Chinese craft gin. Its secret is a carefully curated fusion of botanicals and ideas from the West and the Far East. The Gin was inspired by Shanghai?s underground culture: a diverse community of creators and artists, merchants and musicians, who push the boundaries of their craft.
