Juno Autumn 2026 Seasonal Gin is a distinctive New Zealand craft gin combining parsnip with smoked juniper, zesty orange and black cardamom for a smoky, citrus-led seasonal expression.
Juno Autumn 2026 Seasonal Gin takes an unconventional approach to seasonal botanicals, placing parsnip at the centre of its autumn-inspired recipe. It is paired with smoked juniper, zesty orange and black cardamom, creating a gin with earthy, smoky, citrus and spice characteristics.
The bottle label pays tribute to New Plymouth’s Power Station Chimney, a familiar part of the Ngāmotu skyline since 1972. Juno describes the landmark as an enduring local feature that, much like this unusual gin, can divide opinion.
Produced with pure New Zealand mountain water and hand-selected botanicals, the gin is distilled in Juno’s copper still in New Plymouth and bottled at 44% ABV.
