Many have told my story. But only one has distilled the essence of this place to make poems that run over your tongue. Tales of the harbour told in gin. Named for the Hector’s dolphins that swim off Akaroa, Hector’s Gin comes in flavour profiles foraged from Banks Peninsula. Kelp, manuka, thyme, lavender, and lemon myrtle gathered by local foragers are blended with classic botanicals to create a dry gin with a slight minerality on the finish. Superb for mixing or in a G&T.

Every bottle is a taste of Akaroa. Our gins are a true evocation of this beautiful part of Aotearoa.”
