Collection: Dancing Sands
Dancing Sands Distillery was founded in 2016 by Ben and Sarah Leggett in Golden Bay, at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. Drawn by the region’s unspoilt coastline, native forest and creative, independent spirit, the couple set out to craft premium spirits that reflected both place and purpose. The distillery takes its name from the naturally “singing” sands found on nearby beaches, a unique phenomenon that mirrors the area’s distinctive character. From the outset, Dancing Sands has remained proudly independent, producing small-batch spirits with a strong focus on quality, sustainability and local identity. Pure artesian water from the Takaka aquifer underpins every release, reinforcing the distillery’s commitment to clarity, balance and authenticity. Today, Dancing Sands is widely recognised as one of New Zealand’s leading boutique distilleries, admired for its craftsmanship and sense of place.

Dancing Sands is best known for its expressive gins, distilled in small batches using a thoughtful blend of classic and native botanicals. Juniper forms the core, layered with ingredients such as horopito, mānuka, coriander seed, citrus peel and gentle spice to create depth, texture and freshness. Careful distillation and precise blending allow each botanical to retain definition without overpowering the whole. The use of pristine Golden Bay water delivers a clean, soft mouthfeel and bright finish. Alongside gin, the distillery produces refined vodka and limited seasonal releases, each guided by the same balance-driven philosophy. Dancing Sands has received strong international recognition, including awards at the World Gin Awards, where its gins have been named Country Winners — confirming their standing among the world’s best.
