Southward Wave Gin

Southward Wave Gin is a New Zealand craft gin with a fresh, ocean-inspired profile, bringing together citrus, soft botanicals, and a clean, balanced finish.

Southward Wave Gin is a New Zealand craft gin from Southward Distilling Co. that takes its cue from coastal flavours and a relaxed drinking style. It is built to feel light and refreshing, with a profile that leans into brightness rather than weight.

Juniper is present but not dominant, allowing citrus and softer botanical notes to come forward. There is a gentle lift on the palate, with a clean, slightly crisp edge that keeps the gin feeling fresh without becoming sharp. The balance sits more towards subtlety, making it easy to come back to.

This gin is well suited to simple serves where that freshness can stand out, particularly with tonic or soda. It also works in lighter cocktails where you want something that adds flavour without taking over. Southward Wave Gin sits comfortably as an easy, coastal-style New Zealand gin that focuses on drinkability and balance rather than intensity.
