Bluff London Dry Gin

Bluff London Dry Gin captures the grit and beauty of New Zealand’s southernmost coast. Distilled in small batches in Bluff, this juniper-forward classic layers bright citrus over earthy spice for a clean, confident profile. Its vivid blue, buoy-inspired bottle nods to the region’s maritime lore — a striking design wrapped around a seriously well-made gin that shines in simple serves and timeless cocktails alike.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Fresh juniper leads with zesty lemon-lime and a hint of lemongrass. The palate is crisp and dry, balancing coriander warmth with floral hibiscus and subtle liquorice sweetness. A long, clean finish brings savoury depth and refreshing citrus lift.
