Description
Born from a Canadian venturing and landing far away from home. This isn’t about how great maple syrup is. This is for expats, travelers, kiwis in Canada, Canadians in NZ, partners, friends, stories, and travel. This is adventure and place in a bottle. The North isn’t as frozen as you think. Summer is sweet and sticky. Lake life in fresh water. The most lakes in the world. Bonfires burn the night. Long nights of drinks, friends and families. Sand. Boats. Green trees stacked against boulders. Southward's Maple Gin is a round, sweet and full gin that is great mixed or even over Ice. Creamy and balanced, slightly vanilla and toffee like notes.

Distilling
Southward Distilling doesn't start out by trying to make a great gin. They start out trying to tell a story. Beginning, middle and end. Their core method is pot distilling with a complimentary aspect of vapour and infusion at times. Their 300L pot still Kay, named after their founders Grandma, is the beating heart of our story. Done in small batches, they produce craft gin that is beautifully wild.

About
What started as a Whiskey drinker has now become a search to recreate flavours for different pallets. Not everyone likes smokey, and some people don’t like sweet, so Southward Distilling recreate flavours and profiles by creating different gins. they craft a catered drinking experience through experimental and creative flavours. Their name, Southward, is a code to family and tradition. Named after a family fishing boat led by a strong man, with not all his fingers by the end of it. Going out to sea, coming home, and having a drink with your family. Only to create a memory.
