ELSEWHERE NORTH CANTERBURY GIN 750ml

Distillery notes
"North Canterbury’s wild foraged and locally sourced botanicals are steeped three times to capture the fragrance of the open plains within a clean, nuanced dry gin. Bright clear flavours of orange blossom, makrut, bay leaf, lavender, rose and olive are anchored with earthy seaweed sweetness from the cliffs of Taylor’s Mistake. Our gins are made in very small batches. Your gin will be one of 125 produced for North Canterbury 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."

"This limited edition triple gin pays tribute to the expressive Rieslings with their ripe orange and mandarin flavours for which North Canterbury is famed. This London dry gin captures those qualities with orange blossom, lime leaf, and tangelo peel among the botanicals."
