Reid + Reid Native Gin
700mL / New Zealand
Had crafted and small batch distilled in bespoke copper pot still, Reid + Reid Native Gin is a unique New Zealand gin.
After a two year mission to forage the landscapes of New Zealand for aromatic native plants that best compliment a classic dry gin, the brothers settled on Kawakawa, Manuka and Horopito making it a quintessential New Zealand gin.
Tasting Notes:
Juniper and floral notes followed by citrus.
Peppery and ginger spice on the palate and a vibrant, aromatic finish.
About the distillery:

Reid+Reid gin is uniquely Kiwi, in that it is produced with three native New Zealand botanicals:
- Kawakawa
