ELSEWHERE LITTLE RIVER GIN 750ml

Distillery notes
"Little River’s botanicals are wild foraged and locally sourced, then steeped three times to create a clean, nuanced dry gin. Pea-flower blue in the bottle, when combined with tonic this gin becomes the lavender blush of early mornings at Birdling’s Flat. Herbaceous and charismatic with chamomile, lemon thyme, rosemary and kanuka. Our gins are made in very small batches. Your gin will be one of 115 produced for Little River 2022.

Elsewhere is a two-person team dedicated to crafting very small batches of premium gin. Mark, who is also an experienced winemaker, distills the gin and Zoë looks after design, accounts and marketing. We usually forage for botanicals together – often while on holiday enjoying the natural environment with our family and friends – so we have a personal connection to the places on each label. This makes our gin totally unique and unlike anything else you’ll find on the shelves of your favourite cocktail bar or fine spirits store.

In capturing the taste and aroma of unique places, Elsewhere gin follows the winemaking concept of terroir. While we go back to our favourite places to gather botanicals to make further batches, they will express the character of different seasons and years, much like vintage wine. We will also make gins from new places we discover that really inspire us."

"Pea-flower blue in the bottle, this contemporary dry gin turns a lavender blush when combined with tonic (a shade that its makers liken to “early mornings at Birdling’s Flat” – a settlement near Little River in Canterbury). Wild foraged tarata blossom combine with delicate herbaceous notes of lemon verbena."
