Victor Heavy Botanical Gin

Distilled in Wellington by Victor Gin, Heavy Botanical is a punchy, full-flavoured New Zealand gin crafted with double the standard botanical load. Made using a copper pot still and vapour infusion, it’s rich in juniper, citrus, and green herb complexity. Designed for serious gin lovers, this small-batch release delivers deep intensity and a savoury edge—without any added flavourings or sweeteners.

Bouquet
Highly aromatic with notes of crushed juniper, lemon zest, rosemary, and bay leaf. A wild herbaceous lift with a touch of pine and spice.

Palate
Robust and concentrated. Classic juniper leads into bold herbal notes, fresh-cut citrus, and earthy spice. The mouthfeel is oily and structured, with a long, dry finish that’s unapologetically botanical.

Food Pairing
Best served with dry tonic and a rosemary sprig or lemon twist. Ideal in bold gin-forward cocktails like a martini, Negroni, or gin old fashioned. Pair with sharp cheeses, rosemary lamb, or olive tapenade.

Cellaring
No ageing needed. Store in a cool, dark place and enjoy within 1–2 years for optimal aromatic intensity.

Interesting Fact
Victor Heavy Botanical uses twice the botanicals of their original gin, creating a concentrated style that’s ideal for strong, stirred cocktails and purist palates.
