A contemporary gin infused with native horopito leaf, offering a spicy and aromatic profile.
No8 Distillery's Horopito Gin is a contemporary gin that showcases the unique flavours of New Zealand's native horopito leaf. Crafted using maceration and vapour infusion, this gin blends traditional and local botanicals for a bold, peppery, and complex profile.
On the nose you are blinded by a flash-bang of orange, cardamon and a hint of cordite. When tasting, the gin bursts through your trap peppering you with sustained, accurate heat that gives way to a body of cardamom and cinnamon. As it walks away from you, the little bugger fires off a Parthian shot of pepper. The finish has a zesty orange citrus and the sweet smell of victory."
