A limited-edition gin from Arrowtown, infused with lemongrass, kaffir lime, Szechuan pepper, and butterfly pea flower, offering a bold botanical profile and a striking blue hue.
Rifters Blue Gold Gin is a tribute to the adventurous spirit of Arrowtown's gold miners, inspired by the rare form of gold known as "blue gold." This small-batch, limited-release gin is handcrafted in Arrowtown, New Zealand, using a distinctive blend of botanicals: lemongrass, kaffir lime, Szechuan pepper, and butterfly pea flower. The result is a bold and vibrant gin that captures the essence of Central Otago's natural beauty and rich heritage.
The butterfly pea flower imparts a natural blue hue to the gin, which transforms to a soft pink when mixed with tonic, adding a visual delight to its complex flavour profile. On the nose, expect bright citrus notes from lemongrass and kaffir lime, complemented by the warm spice of Szechuan pepper. The palate offers a harmonious blend of citrus and spice, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
Rifters Blue Gold Gin is best enjoyed with premium tonic water and a slice of lime, allowing its unique botanicals to shine.
