Island Gin
Our limited edition collaboration with our great friend Yael Shochat from Ima cuisine in Auckland. Our first ever collaboration and we couldn't be happier that it was with one of our oldest mates.
We have steeped Yael's unique hot cross bun spices into our highly Awarded Gin.
Notes of Vanilla and Caramel, reminiscent of a Whiskey or a Pedro Ximenez - but it is a gin ! A viscous mouth feel, warming with hints of spice and cinnamon, long finish.
We love it with a peel of Orange on ice, or in an Old Fashioned cocktail.
EVERY BOTTLE PURCHASED RECEIVES 2 FREE AOTEA PRODUCTS VALUED AT $32 - AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO YOUR DELIVERY

MEDLANDS BEACH - Great Barrier Island an "off grid" uniquely protected paradise
Medlands is the name of the beach on the east coast of Great Barrier Island, where I first accidentally discovered our little bach (the kiwi word for holiday shack). It is where I would spend a lot of time under a beach cabana, perfecting my cocktails, and ultimately where I developed my own gin recipe, after hours of experimenting on my small alembic copper pot still In the tiny kitchen of our little bach.
THE DISTILLERY AND SOLAR POWERED BOTTLING
Setting up an off grid Distillery has been a huge, but fun filled challenge. It's now home to a lovely, small, bespoke copper pot column still. Our 100% Solar powered bottling machine filters our already triple filtered rain-harvested water, which comes across in icy blasts from the Pacific Ocean. Next stop Chile!
We are excited to now offer small group tastings at our distillery during Summer.(6 people maximum please) Currently closed due to high production demand.
Bookings are essential.

SUSTAINABILITY AND OUR ENVIRONMENT
"Initially I was only focused on distilling my own gin. As I began working on making this a reality, I started to look at the whole packaging process. I could buy a generic bottle off the shelf from a supplier in Europe, which is what the majority of distillers do." - Andi
Great Barrier Island is a precious, pristine environment, with 68% owned and protected by The Department of Conservation.
It didn’t sit well with Andi, buying a manufactured bottle from half way around the world, that would take many months to arrive. It was not a good environmental choice.
