About

"For nearly 20  years Andi Ross spent long dreamy summers on Great Barrier Island in a modest beach shack with 2 solar panels and a 12 volt battery.  It was there in her tiny kitchen she started playing around with G&T’s using lemons foraged from a tree she stumbled across on a bush walk.

Later on, it was discovered the lemon tree she found was said to seeded from an early shipwreck. 

Inspired by this, Andi ventured further and began experimenting with other local ingredients on a small alembic copper pot still.

After many trials with the aid of willing tasters, who nicknamed her ‘Madame Distiller’,  the first original Island Gin was born.

The blend of Great Barrier Manuka and bush island honey as a key note became
the profile signature of Island Gin capturing the spirit of Great Barrier Island; made by hand,  by nature and by a community like no other."
