Humdinger Dry Gin — our multi-award-winning New Zealand classic

Distilled in small batches in Geraldine with Canterbury barley, Humdinger Dry Gin is smooth, rich and beautifully balanced — the gin we built the distillery on, and the one our regulars keep coming back for.

On the palate: subtle citrus opens, classic juniper follows, then a long, warming finish of liquorice root and nutmeg spice. The barley gives it a full-bodied character that holds its own — neat or mixed.

Perfect serve: pour over plenty of ice with a premium tonic and a twist of orange.

Cocktail pairings

That backbone makes Dry Gin a natural in a classic G&T or a Martini. For something local, try the Oasis — Dry Gin with Barkers apple & elderflower and soda, made with our Geraldine neighbours — or explore more Dry Gin cocktails.

The hero in this case is Canterbury Barley, grown just down the road from our distillery. Barley gives our Dry Gin a nice, full mouthfeel and body.

Winter warmer

Much too cold for a GnT over ice. But a hot toddy with the lovely Rum Barrel Aged limited edition is just perfect. Warmed right down to my toes!

So tasty

Excellent Gin. Ive tried a few gins in my time and humdinger comes up trumps - I keep going back to it and I’ve got to the point where that’s all I buy now. Both their original gin as well as their special releases they are all delicious

A great ‘everyday’ Gin!

Fabulous gin that’s goes with anything you want to mix with it! Love that it Humdinger is local and their freight service is super fast!

Hi Lana, thank you so much for your nice review! We're delighted to hear you enjoy our Dry Gin and we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. As a sign of our appreciation we will pop a little something on the courier for you.
Cheers, Andrew @ Geraldine Distillery

A gin that’ll please the serious gin drinkers.

Harks back to quality rarely found. Dry yet tasty and smoothe. This is definitely my new favourite. So thrilled to find such a great gin that’s locally made.

Superior in every way

As a seasoned gin drinker, introduced to it in my twenties in the UK, I reckon I’ve tasted a fair few. The Humdinger dry is my favourite of all time. We chanced upon the shop while in Geraldine on holiday in March and really didn’t expect much. Even after we’d bought it, we feared it might be another of those holiday purchases that lose their magic once we got home. But no! It’s delectable. Love its dryness and its excellent flavour. Just ordering two more bottles. Such a shame there are no stockists near us in Auckland.

Thank you so much, Fiona. We’re thrilled you found us in Geraldine and that our Dry Gin still lived up to the memory once you got home. Your kind words mean a lot. As a thank you, we’ll pop a little something on today’s courier for you.
Cheers,
Andrew @ Humdinger
