The National Distillery Company New Zealand Native Gin 750 ml

The National Distillery Company New Zealand Native Gin is a contemporary gin built around botanicals native to New Zealand alongside the juniper that makes it a gin at all. That is the argument the country's distillers have been making for a decade: local plants give a gin a sense of place that imported botanicals cannot. The nose is juniper, citrus peel and green forest herbs; the palate keeps juniper up front but layers lemon, soft spice and a resinous, faintly medicinal native edge behind it; the finish is dry, herbal and clean. Pour it into a gin and tonic with a grapefruit slice, or a very cold martini.
