Scapegrace Classic Gin 200ml

Scapegrace Classic Gin is a beautifully balanced expression of juniper-forward craftsmanship that stands out in New Zealand’s thriving gin scene. Distilled by The Rogue Society Distilling Co. using a traditional 19th-century John Dore copper pot still, this gin showcases twelve carefully selected botanicals including juniper, coriander, angelica root, orange and lemon peel, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, licorice root, orris root, cinnamon, cassia bark, and dried tangerine. The result is a classic London Dry style that has earned critical acclaim, including an impressive 92-point score from respected gin reviewers who praised its near-perfect botanical balance.

Nose: Fresh and crisp with prominent juniper and licorice notes, complemented by bright citrus zest and gently spiced cardamom. Warm earthy undertones soften the aromatics, while subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg add depth.

Palate: Juniper takes centre stage without overwhelming the palate, supported by a complex weave of citrus, spice, and herbal notes. The texture is clean and bright with excellent balance across all twelve botanicals.

Finish: Smooth and warming with lingering spice and citrus character.

This versatile gin shines in a classic Gin & Tonic with a quality tonic water and fresh green apple garnish, but it’s equally impressive in a dry Martini where the botanical complexity can truly express itself. The robust juniper backbone and balanced spice profile make it an excellent choice for a Negroni or Aviation cocktail, where the botanicals stand up confidently against other ingredients.

Bottled at 42.2% ABV, Scapegrace Classic Gin delivers the flavour intensity that cocktail enthusiasts appreciate while remaining approachable enough for those new to premium gin. Perfect for home bartenders looking to elevate their cocktail craft or as a thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates quality New Zealand spirits.
