Unlikely Companions

Unlikely Companions is a contemporary New Zealand gin brand built around the concept of unexpected harmony — between flavours, people, and ideas. They lean into the mind as much as the land, favouring originality, experimentation, and an affinity with the world of perfume to guide their aromatic approach. 

Their method involves individually distilling botanicals and then blending them precisely to create layered but refined flavour profiles.

Although new to the New Zealand gin scene (launching August 2025), Unlikely Companions positions itself at the intersection of craft spirits and perfume sensibility, inviting drinkers to savour aromas, visual design, and flavour interplay.
