Description
First released for Negroni Week 2017, this is a wonderfully complex gin with a botanical recipe designed to complement a Negroni cocktail. The juniper is both macerated and vapour infused to add intensity and flavour. A malted barley base spirit, spicy botanicals, aging in an oak cask and bottling at high proof combine to make a gin that enhances a Negroni, works equally well in many cocktails and is a great sipping gin!

About
The Spirits Workshop began in late 2015 when four whisky lovers got together and bought a small still, curious to develop distinctly New Zealand spirits. Their journey is to create, within their workshop, New Zealand’s most celebrated craft spirits. Quality food and beverages are always best enjoyed when there’s a story behind what you’re eating and drinking. They wondered what would it take to deliver their taste of New Zealand to the spirits world? Yoyo, the original 50 litre pot still was their initial step and for the first three years it produced the first four Curiosity Gins in the range. Yoyo is still in action and in 2019 they acquired a 500 litre still which currently produces all their gin and whisky.
