A small-batch, solar-powered London Dry gin from Great Barrier Island, featuring organic juniper, native mānuka honey and six other NZ botanicals for a clean and herbaceous profile.
Island Gin Original is handcrafted off-grid in a bespoke copper pot still on remote Great Barrier Island. Distilled using organic Macedonian juniper, locally sourced mānuka bush honey, lemon myrtle, coriander, angelica, ginger, tarragon, and other native botanicals, the spirit reflects the island’s rugged character and commitment to sustainability. Bottled in locally produced Kina-inspired recycled-glass bottles, it has earned multiple awards including Double Gold at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Gold at the 2025 World Drinks Award (Best London Dry in NZ), as well as Gold at the 2022 San Francisco Spirits Competition. This gin is perfect for those seeking a premium NZ botanical experience that’s both flavorful and eco-conscious.
