Southern Alps of New Zealand
New Zealand water is unique because our geography is unique.
The rain that hits New Zealand is the same as the rain that hit New Zealand a thousand years ago. None of it comes through clouds passing over land masses belching out car fumes and agricultural enhancers. The first thing it hits is a huge, jagged mountain range that runs the length of the South Island. This mountain range then holds this water for 80 years. That’s how long it takes to travel through the layers of sediment until it’s finally released in to the depths of one of the world’s last natural aquifers. Think about that. The water in this gin has actually been filtering through rock since before your grandfather was the age you are now.
The reason that Scapegrace tastes clean is because it is.
The Bottle
The bottle is deliberate. It’s a modern take on the original Genever bottles from 200 years ago.
If gin-makers from then were making gin today we know they would make it like we do, because we make it like they did.
Our bottle is a respectful acknowledgement to everything they taught us.
