Distilled in New Zealand using glacial water from the Southern Alps, Scapegrace Black Gin is the world’s first naturally black gin. Its colour and flavour come from a blend of botanicals including aronia berry, butterfly pea, saffron, pineapple, and sweet potato. Vapour-distilled in small batches, this gin is both a visual showstopper and a serious spirit—with a rich, earthy profile and a colour that changes to deep purple when mixed.
Bouquet Dark and aromatic with notes of earthy berry, clove, cinnamon, citrus peel, and floral spice. A hint of pineapple brightness lifts the bouquet.
Palate Smooth, layered, and intriguing. Flavours of berry compote, citrus zest, and warming spice unfold into a silky, slightly sweet finish with a touch of herbaceous earthiness. A dynamic gin that’s both bold and balanced.
Food Pairing Best served with premium tonic and a slice of green apple or fresh rosemary. Excellent in cocktails that highlight its colour—like a Black Negroni or dramatic G&T. Pairs well with aged cheeses, dark chocolate, or charcuterie.
Cellaring Enjoy fresh to maintain its natural colour and flavour. Store away from sunlight and consume within 1–2 years once opened.
Interesting Fact Scapegrace Black gets its dramatic hue entirely from natural botanicals—no artificial colours. Its colour-shifting magic (from black to purple when mixed) makes it a favourite for creative cocktails.
