Milford Gin 700ml

Milford Gin brings together two distant shores in one bottle, blending classic juniper-forward character with kawakawa and Welsh laver seaweed. Distilled right here in New Zealand at 40% ABV, this small-batch gin offers a contemporary take on the London Dry style without straying too far from tradition. Bright juniper, pine and citrus dominate the opening, while the seaweed and native kawakawa add subtle coastal salinity and herbaceous depth that sets it apart from standard supermarket gins.

Nose: Clean juniper leads, followed by fresh citrus peel and a whisper of coastal minerality from the seaweed. There’s a gentle pine resin note that keeps things crisp.

Palate: Juniper holds the centre with coriander seed spice and zesty lime, while the kawakawa brings a subtle peppery warmth. The seaweed contributes a delicate savoury edge rather than overt brininess, keeping the gin balanced and versatile.

Finish: Medium length with lingering citrus and a gentle herbal fade. The texture remains smooth throughout, making it an easy drinking style for both neat sippers and cocktail enthusiasts.

This gin shines in a classic Dry Martini where its pine and citrus notes can take centre stage, or try it in a Gimlet where fresh lime amplifies the natural brightness. It also makes an excellent G&T with a quality tonic and a wedge of lime or grapefruit to highlight those citrus botanicals.

Home bartenders and gin enthusiasts looking for a New Zealand-made spirit with genuine point of difference will appreciate the cross-hemisphere botanical blend. A thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys craft gin with a sense of place and provenance.
