Juniper, Coriander, Bay Leaf, Lemon. The Bay is a back-to-basics gin and one of our Working Title gins. Citrus and complex herbal notes predominate. Juniper and Coriander are macerated in our base spirit before final infusion with Bay Leaf and Lemon to create The Bay Gin. Complex and herbal with a bright citrus finish. Equally delicious alone on ice or paired with soda or a dry tonic. 45%ABV

ABOUT THE PRODUCER.
It began with a rant over coffee between friends about the thousands of tonnes of bakery products ending up in landfill across New Zealand each year.
The question arose, ‘Could we make alcohol from bread?’.
Nearly three years, and a huge learning curve later, Jenny McDonald and Sue Stockwell are the team behind Dunedin Craft Distillers.
The two women share a sense of humour, a care for the environment and a reluctance to let anything go to waste - qualities which underpin every decision they make in their quest to mitigate the environmental cost of bread and bakery products going to landfill.
