Description
A warming touch of spice, a lingering herbal note of kawakawa, and with a strong juniper presence. Kawakawa provides its signature taste of strong herbal notes and peppery warmth on the palate to make for a unique, flavourful gin. Picked from the Peruvian pepper tree, Pink Peppercorn is distinctly unique, with a light floral quality, a hint of tart raspberry sweetness and a lingering spice. The delicate botanical adds warmth and balance to our gin and is a perfect match with kawakawa.

As a kiwi company, Kākāpō Distillery acknowledges that their understanding of kawakawa comes from mātauranga māori (Māori knowledge).

Distilling
Created using traditional methods in a copper Alquitar still, Kākāpō Distillery’s gin is brought to life by New Zealand's native forests and the extensive variety of botanicals and flavours that are available at their fingertips. 

About
