Distillation Crafted in the creative heart of Wellington, this small-batch gin is all about boldness and balance. Southward’s Smoked Rosemary Gin is distilled with traditional botanicals and infused with charred rosemary, capturing the spirit of open fire, wild herbs, and coastal air.
Botanicals Juniper and citrus provide the structure, while rosemary takes centre stage. Smoked rosemary adds a savoury, earthy depth, supported by hints of lemon peel, coriander seed, and warming spice.
Palate Aromatic and herbaceous with a smoky, slightly resinous edge. Juniper and citrus rise first, followed by a wave of charred rosemary and peppery spice. The finish is dry, long, and savoury, with a subtle smoulder and green herb lift.
Serving Suggestions Serve with a crisp tonic and a sprig of rosemary or a lemon twist. Also works beautifully in a rosemary martini, or try it in a gin sour for a smoky botanical spin.
Interesting Fact This gin was born from experimentation and fire. Inspired by open-flame cooking and the rugged New Zealand landscape, Southward’s smoked rosemary infusion is entirely natural and captures the essence of wild, herb-driven flavour in a modern craft gin.
