Distilled at 41.6% ABV, this premium gin begins with an elderflower-like opening, clean floral notes following through on the palate. The unusual botanical blend creates a round, evolving flavour profile that moves from sweet florals into warming spice territory. Fans of fruity floral gins will find plenty to explore here, with the texture remaining smooth and the finish delivering gentle warmth.

Nose: Almost smoky aromatics with elderflower, citrus hints and subtle floral complexity from the butterfly pea flower and saffron.

Palate: Juniper leads, supported by licorice and menthol notes, with aronia berry adding dark fruit depth and sweet potato contributing unusual textural roundness. The balance between all botanicals shows careful distillation craft.

Finish: Warming and pleasant, with a slight burn that emphasises the spirit’s strength while citrus and spice linger.

In a classic gin and tonic, pair Scapegrace Black with Fever-Tree tonic, vanilla bitters and juniper berries to open up the botanical range. The gin also works beautifully in a gin lemon tonic, where citrus brings out hidden flavour dimensions, or in a cucumber mint Collins with fresh lime for a refreshing serve that highlights the floral character.

This is a gin for enthusiasts who appreciate botanical experimentation and home bartenders wanting something beyond standard London Dry styles. The distinctive ingredient list and New Zealand provenance make it a conversation-starting gift for anyone building a quality gin collection.

A premium New Zealand gin that rewards both neat sipping and creative cocktail work with layered botanical character.
