Sloe Gin

From New Zealand’s only sloe orchard

Humdinger Sloe Gin starts where no other Kiwi gin can — in our own orchard, the only sloe orchard in New Zealand. We grow over 1,000 blackthorn trees right here in Canterbury and pick every sloe by hand, so the fruit in your bottle is genuinely local, never imported.

Made with 100% NZ-grown berries, it’s bold, vibrant and beautifully balanced — luscious plum and almond lead the way, with just enough sweetness to round out the fruit’s natural tartness. A deep, warming sip that’s equally at home neat, over ice, or lengthened with a splash of tonic or soda.

Because our sloes ripen just once a year, this is a true seasonal release — a Kiwi original shaped by our land, our climate, and whatever each harvest brings. When the season’s batch is gone, it’s gone until next year.

Winter serve: gently warmed with apple, elderflower and spices — see our Mulled Sloe Gin recipe.

Complete the set: add a gin pourer or a pair of crystal glasses — or gift it in one of our gin gift boxes or with a gift card.
