Description
A Navy Strength bottling of Roots Marlborough Dry Gin with the addition of organic Akaroa giant kelp and Hawke’s Bay hemp seed. A crisp and robust ‘London Dry’ style gin with aromatic reminiscence of the stormy Pacific seas balanced with a juniper forward palate with clean spice notes, a delicate salinity and subtle nutty finish. Named after the strong Norwest winds of the south Pacific and prevailing Marlborough weather systems. Distilled entirely on estate from eight seasonally sourced botanicals and gunpowder proofed in recognition of Royal Navy gins of old.

Distilling
Produced entirely onsite at their very own bespoke container distillery, they dehydrate, macerate, distill and bottle entirely in house, giving  complete quality control on everything they produce. Each run is batch distilled in a small 200L copper pot still named ‘Fanni Chanel’. A truly boutique operation where every process and principle is controlled by batch and by their own hands. All of their ingredients are direct sourced through either wild foraged, organically farmed or from Kiwi family owned businesses.
