Rimu
Dacrydium cupressinum
Resinous forest depth; a steadying backbone of wood.
“Forest depth, slow and resinous.”
About Rimu
Rimu evokes old forest, depth, and stillness. Its flavour contribution can feel resinous, woody, and softly coniferous, bringing a more ancient and grounded quality than brighter leaf botanicals. In gin, it works best as part of a wider bush profile, building atmosphere and length rather than immediate impact.
