NZ Artisan Awards

Our Sloe Gin earned a Gold Medal in the 2023 NZ Artisan Awards, marking our debut in this competition that celebrates local craftsmanship.

We take great pride in this recognition, as it underscores our dedication to creating exceptional gin with the spirit of New Zealand's rich artisan tradition.

Feedback from competitions is important but it’s not as important as the feedback we get directly from you the consumer, as you are the reason we strive to make every batch better than the last.
