New Zealand Spirits

Crafting great spirits in isn’t easy. There’s nowhere to hide when things go wrong — but when they go right, the result can be extraordinary.

In New Zealand, distillers blend traditional ingredients — anise, angelica, orris root, liquorice root, cinnamon, cubeb pepper, dragon eye, saffron, baobab, frankincense, coriander, nutmeg and cassia bark — with uniquely local notes. Think manuka, kawakawa, pōhutukawa, hemp, flax seeds, karamū, even kauri gum. The result? Bold, complex spirits that reflect Aotearoa’s landscape and character.
