Distillery notes
"Created in honour of Reefton legend Little Biddy, a gin-toting, 4 foot tall gold prospector. Our search for native botanicals takes us deep into the same West Coast rainforest where Biddy once fossicked for gold, to craft a uniquely New Zealand selection of small batch distilled gins with attitude.
Like its namesake, Little Biddy Gin – Classic, is robust and hardworking with a striking aromatic bite. Native Toatoa endures the harshest winter conditions without losing its fresh, vibrant tannic character. Infused with Tarata, Horopito, Rimu and majestic Douglas fir, this is a versatile and easy drinking gin with a complex palate of spiced citrus."

"Launched in October 2018, Reefton Distilling Co. was founded by Reefton local Patsy Bass and is based in the historic West Coast town where it also has a tasting room. Locally foraged botanicals are used in the range of gins. Reefton Distilling Co. also produces vodka, whisky and liqueur.
This gin by Reefton Distilling Co has a rich and complex aroma of liquorice, cassia and resinous juniper. It leads to a palate full of West Coast rainforest character with locally foraged Douglas fir, native botanicals and zesty citrus to boot."
