Description
Wild-foraged botanicals from Endeavour Inlet are steeped three times to create a dry style gin. Rimu, rata flower, citrus, fennel blossom and wakame capture the deep forested valleys of the Queen Charlotte Sound.

Another extraordinary holiday with friends, this time for a close friend’s 40th birthday. Mark & Zoë's hosts were wonderful at showing them around the area and spots to gather botanicals. This was also the place of their wedding 10 years ago at Furneaux Lodge. The inlet is well known as an exceptional citrus-growing location. Their friends’ bach had mandarin, lemon and grapefruit growing very happily, and so another gin was born.

About
Limited edition, handmade regional gins, small-batched and crafted with ingredients from New Zealand’s remote locations.

ELSEWHERE is a two-person team dedicated to crafting very small batches of premium gin. Mark, who is also an experienced winemaker, distils the gin and Zoë looks after design, accounts and marketing. They usually forage for botanicals together – often while on holiday enjoying the natural environment with their family and friends – so they have a personal connection to the places on each label. This makes their gin totally unique and unlike anything else.

In capturing the taste and aroma of unique places, ELSEWHERE gin follows the winemaking concept of terroir. While they go back to their favourite places to gather botanicals to make further batches, they will express the character of different seasons and years, much like vintage wine. They will also make gins from new places they discover that really inspire them.
