The Whanganui River — Te Awa Tupua, a living ancestor — travels from the volcanic plateau of the central North Island all the way to the Tasman Sea. Mountains to Sea Gin tells that journey in a bottle.

Each botanical is thoughtfully chosen to represent a stage of the river's course. Horopito brings the peppery heat of the mountain headwaters. Mānuka leaf evokes the forested middle reaches. Rimurapa (bull kelp) carries the briny, mineral character of the river mouth and sea. Woven through these native botanicals are orchard pears, grapefruit peel, and lime peel — bright and fragrant — alongside the classic gin backbone of juniper and traditional distilling botanicals.

The result is a gin of genuine depth and narrative — complex, multi-layered, and unmistakably rooted in the landscape of Aotearoa. A gin that tells a story with every sip.

Serve

Neat to experience the full aromatic journey from mountain to sea. In a G&T with a light, mineral tonic and a garnish of grapefruit peel or a kawakawa leaf. Also excellent in a Martini or served simply over ice with a squeeze of lime.
