This month's gin is a taste of Kaikoura. Mt Fyffe's Shearwater Gin.
With flavours of the snow (crisp) and the sea (native seaweed, Karengu) this is a perfect Spring choice. Perfect for those brighter days when we can sit in the sun, but there is still a bit of bite in the air! Fresh, light crisp, and smooth. We mixed our gin with Alchemy & Tonic's Yuzu and Lemongrass .
The branding pays homage to the Hutton Shearwater Bird which nests in the Kaikoura Mountains and feeds in the sea (what a life!) They were almost extinct in the 60's and since the 90's work has been done to protect this species with a colony now established on the Kaikoura Peninsula in a predator-proof environment and managed by a community-based charitable trust.
So as you sip your Gin, take a moment to think about Kaikoura, Travel and of course our special Shearwater birds. Thanks Justine and the team at Mt Fyfe for creating this special blend.
