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.

Tasting notes

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.

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 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

Best local Dry Gin

Beautifully balanced classic gin.

Good traditional taste

Very good old-style juniper gin.

Good orange citrus flavour without being a "flavoured" gin, which is very easily coaxed to the front with any other orange (peel or spirit) added.

Great as a straight-up martini, fine with tonic.

Amazing locally made Gin!

I loved the Humdinger Dry Gin! It is great on its own on ice or with a splash of lime and soda water. I also love that it's locally made up the road from me!

One of the best

It’s a winner. Quite literally! And on a warm sunny evening just before dinner it’s definitely a winner when it’s poured over ice with a slice of lemon. Just what the doctor ordered!

Fabulous Gin, excellent service

My sister gave me a bottle of the Dry gin for my birthday and I love it, it’s so smooth with a little liquorice kick at the end; I’ve mostly been using it in martinis! I wanted to get my sister a bottle for her birthday in reply but had difficulty with the website (I think my issue) but Andrew was able to help me get it ordered and delivered, and my sister was thrilled. Highly recommend!
