Straight Up Carrot Gin puts an unlikely hero and Ohakune’s iconic carrot right where it belongs; in gin. It leads with juniper followed by a subtle earthy sweetness, paired with an orange citrusy note and you’re left with a flicker of horopito warmth on the palate. A balanced and carefully made gin that is local, is lively, unexpected but familiar too.
Dare to drink it neat, over ice, in your perfect cocktail, or with your favourite tonic. It’s effortlessly drinkable - picture yourself relaxing while sharing a few laughs and a glass with your friends and family.
Ruapehu Distillery, Ohakune in New Zealand started with our search for a spirit that captured the sense of place, the wild mountain air, volcanic soils, breath taking lunar moons, and a dash of the unexpected. But, we also wanted to create spirits to suit different sweet spots, giving you the freedom to choose the sweetness that's right for you.
In 2026, we opened the doors while determined to keep things simple and straight up, raise a smile, and share spirits that feel as lively and down-to-earth as the town itself. With each batch, we aim to reflect the character of Ruapehu, meet your sweet spot, with friendly, local service you’d expect; whether you live around the corner or order from across the world.
