Lighthouse Gin

Delicate craft gin made by a female craftsman

Lighthouse = lighthouse.

The name comes from the symbolic lighthouse that stands at Cape Palliser, a scenic spot in the southernmost part of New Zealand's North Island. The white and red of the label design reproduce the colors of the lighthouse.

Lighthouse Gin is distilled in Martinborough, near Cape Palliser, which is also famous for producing some of the best Pinot Noir in the country.

The gin is made by a woman called Rachel Hall, New Zealand's first female gin distiller.

She carefully sources the ingredients, blends them, distills, bottles, and labels each bottle.

All of the water used is high-quality local spring water. The spirits are made from sugar cane and flavored with carefully selected botanical ingredients such as juniper berries, coriander seeds, cinnamon, almonds, cinnamon, orris stems, Yen Ben lemons, and oranges.

The resulting gin has a very pure taste.

Rather than forcing its own individuality, it blends the richness of citrus with the pleasant spice that supports it in an excellent balance.

It's easy to see why it's touted as "the best-selling New Zealand gin in North America."

It has a soft aftertaste, so I think it goes very well with meals if mixed with soda.

The capacity is 700ml and the price is 5,060 yen including tax.

If you mix it with soda and use 30ml per glass, it comes to just under 220 yen per glass. I think it's a great value craft gin.

If you want to add an extra touch of glamour, we recommend a gin rickey (gin + carbonated water + lime) with some lime.

Whether you drink it on an everyday basis or as a luxurious weekend treat, Lighthouse Gin is sure to be an exciting drink.

Botanical

Juniper berries, licorice, New Zealand coriander seeds, cinnamon, almonds, cinnamon bark, iris root, navel orange, Yen Ven lemon

About the Lighthouse Distillery

Founded in 2005 by Neil Caslaar, Lighthouse Gin is the culmination of indigenous botanicals, extensive research and years of hard work to create a truly New Zealand gin.

The design and inspiration for this gin was taken from the Cape Palliser Lighthouse, located at the southernmost point of New Zealand's North Island.

With this famous lighthouse in mind, founder and Master Distiller Neil Caslar spent several years researching and experimenting with a variety of natural botanicals, incorporating fresh flavours from New Zealand navel orange and En Ben lemon varietals.

Neil's years of research culminated in a 200 litre copper still designed from scratch and constructed by local craftsmen.

Then in 2010, as production began to increase, Rachel Hall joined Lighthouse, learning and enjoying everything she could under Neil before becoming Head Distiller in 2014.

Today, under the direction of Rachel Hall, Lighthouse Gin continues to create craft gins using nine herbal and spicy blends, including indigenous botanicals.

This unique blend continues to receive high praise and outstanding ratings from connoisseurs and experts around the world.
