Small batch artisan gin distillery at Kaikōura

Woolshed Gin is such a bold botanical gin that sometimes it’s just best to keep things simple and allow the gin to speak for itself. Method
Woolshed Gin works brilliantly for this refreshing citrus cocktail.
As we develop in our lives and businesses, we broaden our knowledge, responsibilities, and commitment to looking after the great land we live on.
I feel a huge gratitude and responsibility to look after this land. I sustainably pick many botanicals throughout the year to use in my gins for you to enjoy.
I promise you that I utilise what I have within my backyard carefully, tread lightly, and take only what I need. By giving back to the community through donations, I try to balance out what I take with what I give.
Please also take this Tiaki promise on your journey and treat our beautiful country and planet carefully so it may be enjoyed for many generations to come.
