Anyone in Auckland is welcome to come around and try some! It'll knock the socks off most commercial gins.

 

If anyone is curious, the botanical bill was:

110g juniper

15g coriander seed

4.5g orris root

0.75g licorice root

1.3g caraway seeds

2g almond

0.8g cinnamon bark

0.2g dill tips

1.6g lemonade lemon zest

3.6g tangelo zest

3 cardamon pods

6 black peppercorns

2 sweet basil leaves

2 rosemary leaves

1 uncompacted teaspoon of nepeta petals
