The Bond Store Kawakawa Gin

​The Bond Store Kawakawa Gin is a uniquely New Zealand craft gin, handcrafted on the Kāpiti Coast using native Kawakawa leaves and locally sourced ingredients for a refreshing and distinctive flavor.

Crafted by The Bond Store on the stunning Kāpiti Coast, this gin features Kawakawa leaves hand-picked from the Chris & Bec family farm in Masterton. These native leaves impart an earthy, peppery warmth that is characteristic of the New Zealand bush. The gin is distilled using repurposed whey-based alcohol from grass-fed New Zealand dairy in Reporoa and blended with crisp water from the Tararua Ranges, resulting in a smooth and flavorful spirit.

At 37.5% ABV, Kawakawa Gin offers a lighter alternative to traditional gins without compromising on flavor. It is gluten-free and proudly made for mindful drinkers, reflecting The Bond Store's commitment to local craftsmanship and sustainable practices. ​

This gin has been recognized with a Bronze Medal at the 2019 New Zealand Spirits Awards in Wellington and the International Wine and Spirit Competition in Hong Kong, underscoring its quality and appeal.
