Sea Lovers Gin

Sea Lovers Gin is a unique New Zealand craft spirit that captures the very essence of the ocean. Distilled with wild kelp, oyster shells, and rosemary alongside traditional botanicals, it delivers a crisp and refreshing coastal profile while supporting marine conservation with every bottle.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Bright lime and fragrant rosemary lead the nose, underpinned by a savoury, umami depth from wild-harvested kelp. On the palate, crisp citrus and herbaceous lift meet subtle minerality from oyster shells, creating balance and finesse. The finish is long, clean, and refreshingly briny — evocative of a sea breeze on a warm day.

Cocktail Pairings

Craftsmanship

Crafted in a 1000-litre hand-beaten copper pot still, Sea Lovers Gin is produced using a combination of maceration and vapour infusion in a single-shot process. The spirit is rested for three weeks to allow flavours to marry before being slowly proofed down to bottling strength. This patient approach results in balance, clarity, and a unique maritime profile.
