Gin cannot be gin without Juniper. So the HERO botanical in this limited release is,
you guessed it, juniper!
For six months, we macerated hand-foraged, wild-grown, Macedonian Juniper in neutral spirit. We then
distilled that macerate with additional Juniper and a dash of New Zealand-grown orris root.
This gin is a showcase of what Juniper can deliver, with lifted pine resin and fresh citrus leaping out of
the glass. Bright floral notes and earthy undertones add complexity.
This is a real juniper-lovers gin.

Dr. Beak
Dr Beak gin has been lovingly crafted and developed by Lacey, along with her winemaker husband, Tim.
Lacey, a mother of three, and a Health Science graduate, has been asking herself for the last ten years, “What will I do when I grow up?”
She has always been passionate about making, creating, repurposing and growing. The idea to make gin was born whilst studying horticulture and came from the desire to look for a new challenge. Alongside that, came the realisation that she could grow or source all the botanicals here in New Zealand. Gin-making seemed to be the perfect bridge between science and craft. The seed was sown. This brave thinking has led to this exciting venture.
