Kākāpō Distillery Rimurimu & Thyme Gin is an artisanal gin crafted in New Zealand, featuring a unique combination of native botanicals. The gin’s name reflects its key ingredients: Rimurimu, a native New Zealand kelp, and aromatic thyme, which together create a savoury and coastal-inspired profile.
Nose: The aroma is fresh and herbaceous, dominated by thyme with a subtle hint of sea breeze from the Rimurimu, offering a light coastal character.
Palate: The palate is bold with savoury and umami flavours, combining the salty notes of kelp with the earthiness of thyme. The juniper provides a robust backbone, while the thyme adds a slight herbal sweetness, balancing out the salinity.
Finish: The finish is long and crisp, leaving a lasting impression of herbs and subtle maritime notes, making it both refreshing and distinctive.
This gin is perfect for those who enjoy savoury gins, and it works beautifully in a Martini or simply with tonic and a twist of lemon
