A goddess amongst gins, Juno’s signature Extra Fine is a hand-selected, harmonious blend of pure New Zealand mountain water and the finest botanicals and spices.
Juno gin is the flagship gin of BeGin Distilling, a husband and wife partnership of Taranaki locals Jo and Dave James. They chose the name Juno after the goddess, wife of Jupiter and known as the goddess of marriage and domestic harmony. She is linked to the idea of vital force, fullness of vital energy and eternal youthfulness.
Key to the perfect gin is the quality of the ingredients. From their extra neutral spirit, thrice distilled, to the robust juniper and golden coriander, only the best is selected. And for pure perfection, the water comes from Mt Taranaki. Juno Extra Fine Gin has juniper at its heart with coriander bringing warmth and a hint of lemon.
One of the foundations of Juno Gin is to “Make it Right”. This commitment to sustainability underpins everything they do. From the design and manufacturing of the copper still, to the collection and use of rainwater, to the sourcing of local botanicals where possible. Jo and Dave are truly inspirational.
