Scapegrace Black Gin

Scapegrace Black Gin is the world’s first naturally black gin, a bold and visually stunning creation from Central Otago, New Zealand. Naturally hued from unique botanicals, it transforms into shades of pink and purple when mixed with tonic — an extraordinary gin experience as beautiful as it is delicious.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Full-bodied and velvety with layers of candied sweet potato, pineapple, and earthy spice. Aronia berry and saffron add depth, while butterfly pea flower gives its striking colour. The palate is luxurious and smooth, finishing with a sweet-savoury balance and a touch of tropical fruit.
