Ukiyo Japanese Yuzu Citrus Gin
Born from locally grown barley distilled into traditional shochu, this spirit is redistilled with juniper, yuzu, regional citrus, and botanicals. Honoring Japan’s 1,500-year yuzu tradition, it offers tart, fragrant notes reminiscent of lemon and grapefruit, with subtle mandarin overtones, creating a bright, complex, and aromatic Japanese-inspired gin.
Made with sweet lemon, dropped into west coast honey and raw local rocket fuel... this cannot possibly go wrong
How can something come from nothing? It is upon this fundamental age-old question that Third Island Vodka is built. Vodka, by definition, should be as close to 'nothing' as possible - completely devoid of all distinction, character, and individuality. We disagree. And as it turns out, our answer was around us all along. Blessed with only pure Stewart Island rain as our water source, our innovative filtration technique incorporates sustainably-foraged paua, mussel, and oyster shells from the pristine Southern Ocean. A final, polishing touch of free-flowing tannin-rich waters collected off the very rock of Rakiura herself all result in an exquisitely smooth mouthfeel and delicate minerality fully absent of any pronounced additional flavour. When it comes to vodka, our philosophy has never faltered: A little something makes all the difference, for nothing hardly comes close.
Reid & Reid Native Gin is a distinctly New Zealand craft gin that celebrates native botanicals. Crafted in Martinborough, it blends traditional juniper with Kawakawa, Manuka, and Horopito, creating a vibrant, herbaceous spirit with a peppery warmth and earthy depth. Citrus and spice notes balance beautifully, delivering a smooth, aromatic finish that reflects the wild New Zealand landscape. Perfect in a classic G&T this gin captures the essence of Aotearoa’s native flora.
