We don’t cut corners.

Three gins. Each at least 5 years in the making.

It took us five years to perfect our gin, and ten years on we still hand zest our citrus, we still twice distill with nine botanicals, we still collect pure natural spring water that has spent years filtering through the Remutaka Ranges.

We still taste every batch for that hallmark Lighthouse style - a remarkably clean, smooth citrusy gin that’s true to its London Dry style.

Lighthouse Gin Palliser Pure Spring Water

Distinctly new zealand.

We handcraft our gin with water that filters down from high in the Remutaka Ranges, and emerges in a spring at the breathtaking Wharekauhau Country Estate in Palliser Bay. This exceptionally pure water is the perfect partner to our nine botanicals.

“Water is really important to Lighthouse Gin. Using soft water that has spent years running slowly over rocks and filtering down through the ranges results in a clean, pure taste. I wouldn’t have it any other way.” - Rachel Hall

A recipe perfected.

Distiller Rachel Hall blends herbal, citrus and spicy botanicals for a subtle delicacy;

BARREL AGED

45%

Made with the same unique blend of nine botanicals, we handcraft this gin in very small quantities with spring water that travels down from high in the Remutaka Ranges. It’s then aged in Pinot Noir barrels from Martinborough Vineyard.
The result is an aromatically fragrant gin with strong juniper and citrus notes. An underlying savoury character makes this one moreish gin, best enjoyed on its own or as a Gin & Tonic.

MT DIFFICULTY BARREL AGED

A limited edition gin made in collaboration with Mt Difficulty. Handcrafted with our signature botanicals and natural spring water filtered by the Remutaka Ranges. We then rest the gin in Mt Difficulty barrels retired from five years’ service to their iconic Central Otago Pinot Noir.
The result is a light, floral and citrus gin with a hint of Central Otago thyme and red berries. Sip neat or top with tonic and a slice of navel orange.
