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 in Canterbury and pick every sloe by hand, so the fruit in your bottle is genuinely local, never imported.

On the palate: made with 100% NZ-grown berries, it's bold, vibrant and beautifully balanced — luscious plum and almond lead, with just enough sweetness to round out the fruit's natural tartness. A deep, warming sip.

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

Perfect serve: lovely neat, over ice, or lengthened with a splash of tonic or soda.

Cocktail pairings

In winter, warm it gently with apple, elderflower and spices — our Mulled Sloe Gin. In summer, shake it into a bright, sparkling Sloe Gin Fizz. Explore more Sloe Gin serves.
