Fresh. Fiery. Bold.

A bold, savoury gin with real wasabi heat - this is clean, curious and unforgettable.

Inspired by the wasabi root that grows in the Waitapu river of Golden Bay, this gin is unlike anything you’ve tried before. We use real wasabi root (not horseradish) to create a spirit with a clean, green heat and a peppery lift. Finished with Otago kelp it's fresh and slightly vegetal - standout in a martini or with tonic. Bold but balanced, it rewards the curious drinker.

Variant

Flavour profile

A little bit special, this gin is inspired by the wasabi root that grows locally in Golden Bay. Unlike most wasabi (which is often coloured horseradish), real wasabi root does not have that same searing heat - but rather a clean, earthy finish that is perfectly suited to a navy strength gin.

Tasting notes

Nose: Fresh juniper with a clean wasabi lift
