Description
Awildian Coromandel Dry Gin is born from a premium sugarcane alcohol base. The unmatched purity and ‘sweet memory’ of this base allows the fruity aromas from botanicals such as Pomegranate and Blueberry to perfectly blend with the more spicy as well as the citrus notes. One third of the twenty carefully selected botanicals are either grown in their very own distiller’s garden or wild foraged. Each batch is carefully bottled into no more than 133 individually numbered bottles. In collaboration with Callaghan Innovation laboratories this gin’s extraordinary and distinctive flavour has been scientifically analysed and confirmed to be bursting with flavours and aromas achieved through a relentless pursuit of perfection.

Distilling
Awildian is handcrafted with utmost care and precision in their custom-made 150L CARL still from southern Germany in the heart of Thames.  Awildian distillates range from their classic Coromandel Dry Gin to some rare (and maybe even obscure) aqua vitaes or ‘waters of life’. At times, these are masterfully blended with separately distilled single-variety distillates; otherwise they are given the time needed to mature.

About
Combining their scientific know-how with a little wilderness, Coromandel Distilling is an experimental micro-distillery based in the heart of Thames, New Zealand. Combining the tradition and art of distillation with the magic of the land and the sea. Home of Awildian.

Daniela Suess & Paul Schneider, scientists by trade with a passion for distilling. Awildian is not the result of a straight-line career path or a neat cash-flow projection. It is the result of friendship, trust, inspiration, passion, and kindness. And of course a daring dose of plain craziness. Upon reflection, Daniela and Paul can already say it’s among their greatest adventures.
