Southward Distilling Co. - There is a place where adventure starts.  This wild place is the inspiration for our distillery.  Made up of garden grown, wild and traditional botanicals. We are a modern take on distilling inspired by the wild beauty of New Zealand.

Bold, balanced, and full of flavour, our Mountain Gin is made for adventuring. Confident enough to stand on its own, but cooperative enough to work with any tonic you could throw at it, this gin makes a great addition to the team.

Highly recommended for nights around the campfire, and sharing with friends ? especially those who don?t think they?re big on gin (spoiler alert; they will be).

Notes: Juniper, juicy citrus, rosemary and lavender.

Made in Wellington, New Zealand.

This Savory gin is full of smoke and no mirrors. The rosemary is sweet to start with a lingering smokiness. This is our version of camping and adventure in a glass. Beautiful and Wild.

Taking it?s inspiration from the ocean, our Wave gin is our take on a more classic style of gin. We wanted to balance our bold Mountain gin with something that gives a nod to what you may be familiar with in a Gin.

At a slightly higher proof of 47% to still maintain a boldness in cocktails, we use sugar kelp to give this gin a touch of sweetness, while being balanced with rose, subtle citrus and liquorice root. The Wave is versatile gin for all your cocktails and great for classic gin lovers.

The structure of the Spring Gin Black Pepper is long, dry and perfectly balanced.  Juniper, Balinese long pepper, black pepper, and ginger spice notes linger on the palate, as well as a subtle kiss from cloves.  

Embracing the Golden Age of Strange, the gin has been gracefully aged for nine months in used French and German wine barrels.

OAK AND SPICE & EVERYTHING STRANGE

The aging process has resulted in a gin that preserves the signature flavours of Strange Nature while unveiling elegant characteristics and intriguing complexity. Layers of citrus, berries, and spice, elevate the sipping experience.


FRUIT NOTES
Fresh Blackcurrant, with a touch of Makrut Lime & Orange Peel.



SWEET AND SPICE
Rich Toffee characters, complemented by cinnamon and a hint of piney juniper.


WITH AGE, COMES STRANGE

Salvage yards were walked in search of heritage coloured glass to inspire the evocative deep green colour of the stunning bottle design that houses the new Strange Nature Gin, which was launched in October 2021 by Giesen Wines. 

This gin contains only one botanical, juniper, for which classic traditional gins are best known but it also has another familiar flavour to New Zealanders - Sauvignon Blanc. 

This gin is made from the alcohol removed from Giesen Wines' 0% alcohol Sauvignon Blanc. It is twice distilled and, while it has the hallmark aromatic flavour notes of Sauvignon, this is a classic style of gin with distinctive peppery juniper aromas. 

?The Sauvignon Blanc spirit tastes so extraordinary we didn?t want to disguise it,? says Kyle Skene, distiller and Giesen Group general manager, who spent 18 months trialling and refining Strange Nature Gin, prior to its launch.

Stranger & Sons Gin celebrates the cultural diversity, knowledge and penchant for storytelling as seen from our mythological epics - fantastical yet deep-rooted in curiosity and adventure.

As you take a sip of our inherently Indian gin, you're greeted by a beautiful freshness from our Indian citrus peels that include Gonghraj from the East, Oranges from Nagpur, Indian Sweet Limes & Nimbu from Goa. Black pepper, coriander and mace follow to give our gin a strong spiced middle. Liquorice, cassia and nutmeg make the finishing flourish warm and sweet.

The recipe for Stranger & Sons, was passed down by a mythical two-tailed creature who appeared to us in a dream. This mythical creature made famous for her gin, was last spotted roaming the Western Ghats of India.

Made in Goa, India

Stranger & Sons have teamed up with Four Pillars in Australia to create a limited edition gin like no other! Introducing Trading Tides Coastal Gin, a dry gin distilled in India with Australian botanicals leading the charge.

Stranger & Sons Indian Spirited Gin is unique thanks to its famous botanical blend from local sources. When creating Trading Tides Limited Edition Coastal Gin, they were inspired by the tides and coast that connect them across the Indian ocean, and kept it in mind when they finalised the unique botanical blend for this spirit ? Juniper, White Pepper, Anise Myrtle, Lemon Myrtle, Rivermint, Angelica, Liquorice, Indian Coriander, Grapefruit Peels, Dried Mangosteen, Kokum and Tamarind.

A different gin with a different flavour profile calls for different cocktails (because, well, why not? We all love cocktails.)

A blend of the purest four-times-distilled spirit and a hand picked selection of four botanicals, Tanqueray London Dry offers uniquely balanced gin experience. Tanquerays iconic bottle design is a contemporary update of the original 1948 design, which in turn, was inspired by the shape of a classic cocktail shaker.
