A vibrant fusion gin showcasing native kawakawa and fragrant pink peppercorns, with a lively herbal kick and delicate spice - a true taste of Aotearoa.
Kākāpō Distillery’s Kawakawa & Pink Peppercorn Gin celebrates New Zealand's botanical heritage. This small‑batch gin harmonises the bold, forest‑floor warmth of kawakawa leaves with the bright, floral heat of pink peppercorns. It’s crafted in micro‑batches using the distillery’s copper Alquitar still, delivering a layered gin with herbal depth, zesty spice, and a smooth finish. Perfect neat, in a long drink, or as the base for creative cocktails like the Kawakawa IPA Sour or the kiwi‑fruity Gin Sour

Surprising blend of floral and spice, lovely and smooth on the palate with a wonderful spice. Love the story behind the brand and ‘pay forward’ from sales to conservation. A must for the Gin cabinet.
