Martinborough’s original craft gin, SINCE 2005.
GIN AS IT SHOULD BE.
A LOCAL ICON.
Real CRAFTSMANSHIP.
INSPIRED BY the spectacular Cape Palliser lighthouse.
Lighthouse Gin captures the character and history of this spectacular place where ancient forest meets untamed coastline.
The Cape Palliser Lighthouse on the southernmost tip of New Zealand’s North Island has been a beacon of safe harbour and craftsmanship since 1897. Brought over from Birmingham, United Kingdom in pieces, it was hauled up the steep cliff and pieced together panel by panel.
“That sense of craftsmanship, making it the best it can be, from ingredients to distillation, to when the bottle goes out the door to you, is what we put into Lighthouse Gin, just like its namesake.”
- Rachel Hall, Head Distiller
THE MAKER.
From gathering botanicals, twice distilling, tasting every batch for consistency, labelling and bottling, Rachel Hall is custodian of the Lighthouse tradition – our Lighthouse Keeper if you will.
The first female Head Distiller in New Zealand, Rachel has been crafting Lighthouse by hand since 2014.
We don’t cut corners.
THREE GINS. EACH At LEAST 5 YEARS IN THE MAKING.
Handcrafted with pure spring water filtered down from the Remutaka Ranges and uniquely blended with nine botanicals.
A recipe perfected.
