Signature Gins
What our customers are saying
I love Humdinger gins! And this pink gin did not disappoint, it’s so perfectly balanced, and I love the delicate floral notes.
Cannot recommend enough as the perfect drink on a balmy summers evening.
I first discovered them after a little day trip to Geraldine, and a visit to the tasting room (walked away with a bottle of the delicious Pinot Noir Barrel aged gin!)! I’ve been a fan ever since!
This is an intriguing gin. A change to the norm and very fitting to a discerning taste.
This was my favourite of the tasting we were privileged to experience. Great taste profile! I bought it for my son, who enjoys a good gin.
I love this gin it's so smooth and flavourful. I have it with ice and lemonade and it is perfect.❤️
Become a yearly favourite, this years batch does not disappoint!
A wonderfully tasty gin with citrus and ginger notes for warmth, an excellent addition to the collection
Love this gin, wonderful flavours and after taste, a must to add to your Gin collection. Wonderful service, brilliant packaging, recommended!
One of my favourites in the humdinger range. Perfect on a cold day by the fire. Discovered this one at a local bar in Timaru as they ran out of citrus.
Limited release? Please make more!
Great tasting gin !!! One of the best I have tried
Such a smooth, flavoursome gin. Wonderful to enjoy mixed, or just by itself. It needs no accompaniment. Will be back for more!
This is delicious gin. It tastes so refreshing. Love that it was packaged sustainably without any plastic and arrived very swiftly.
Stopped by the distillery whilst in Geraldine on a family holiday. Andrew was super friendly and all the gins were amazing, each one completely different to the other, all amazing but citrus was my take away. Highly recommend!
The Humdinger Way
The term ‘natural’ is often overused, its real meaning obscured and diluted by hackneyed hype and folk jumping on the bandwagon.
For the team here at Humdinger Gin, a natural product has to be something genuinely recognisable in nature – the seed of coriander, a juniper berry, the root of orris. These aromatic natural components add true value in producing our fine New Zealand-made gin.
Our obsessive gin distiller Andy, can be seen hand-preparing all these aromatic botanicals to release the natural flavours slowly into each small batch of handcrafted Humdinger gin. Attention to detail and honest naturally sourced ingredients is what sets a Humdinger gin apart from the masses.
However, these botanicals that we celebrate at Humdinger, would not be possible without the humble worker bee. Those buzzy little guys who begin nature’s cycle. Bees are vital to pollinate the food we need to survive. They pollinate many of the trees and flowers that provide habitats for wildlife and also contribute to the seeds, herbs, roots, and fruits that we harvest and infuse into our ‘humdinger’ of a Gin.
We recognise the brilliance of the humble bee and have chosen to salute the many wonderful attributes of the bee on all of our Humdinger Branding.
Humdinger Gin - Quality First
Gin is back! And best of all NZ Gin has made a resurgence throughout the country and the world.
Why New Zealand Gin is so good comes down to our can-do attitude. New Zealanders don't rest on their laurels and always challenge the norm, which is obvious in each Humdinger Gin.
One of the most versatile spirits is Gin. The diversity of gins makes tasting each one more intriguing for gin lovers. Our Humdinger’s Gin Distillery is producing award-winning gin that can match any international brand for sip-ability and can be used in a very wide range of cocktails.
The Distilled
Obsessive passion, research, and development are the ingredients for our successful New Zealand gin. Sourcing our botanicals from a specialist UK spice trader, diffusing our gins not just with flavour, but also with history and culture from around the world.

The Distillery
Our distillery is located in what locals call "The Old Morrison's Garage". We could see the building has great bones so the site has been affectionately repurposed as a gin distillery. Handily located right in the heart of Geraldine, there is a great community vibe shared with like-minded local businesses surrounding us.
The Worker Bees
That’s us – Andrew and Saskia, the husband and wife team who love an authentic tipple, always choosing quality, connection, family and sustainability over volume and compromise.
