Think oak, but with native New Zealand timber. Charred and toasted to bring out vanilla, caramel and tobacco
“The coast in bloom.”
About Pōhutukawa
Pōhutukawa carries strong associations with New Zealand coastline and summer light. In botanical storytelling it evokes place as much as flavour, and when used in a spirit context it tends to contribute delicate native nuance rather than loud perfume. Its role is often emotional as much as sensory — helping the gin feel anchored to Aotearoa’s coastal identity.
