Distillation Crafted by Reefton Distilling Co. on the rugged West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island, Little Biddy Gin is inspired by the region’s wild landscapes and pioneering spirit. Distilled in small batches with pure West Coast water and hand-harvested native botanicals, it’s a bold expression of local flavour and heritage.
Botanicals Juniper is complemented by a unique blend of native New Zealand botanicals including tarata, horopito, rimu, and toatoa. Subtle citrus and floral notes come from locally foraged leaves and herbs, bringing complexity and freshness to the mix.
Palate Herbaceous and earthy with a distinctly forested character. Bright citrus peel gives lift while native spices add warmth and depth. The texture is full and robust, with a savoury, slightly resinous finish that lingers with a refreshing green snap.
Serving Suggestions Best served with tonic and a slice of orange or sprig of rosemary. Also excellent in a herbal martini or paired with native tonics and botanicals for a uniquely New Zealand G&T experience.
Interesting Fact The gin is named after Bridget "Little Biddy" Goodwin, a famously tough and spirited West Coast goldminer. Like its namesake, this gin is bold, no-nonsense, and full of character—crafted to celebrate the wildness and resilience of the land it comes from.
