ChampionZ Gin, New Zealand

Golden Bay Distillery of South Island, New Zealand released ChampionZ Gin in 2019 with the aim of not only creating a clean gin but also to give something back to local sports clubs and teams. Master distiller Sue Bensemannhas uses water found deep in the Southern Alps and focuses on natural products with no preservatives. Sue picks the majority of her botanicals with her team including New Zealand peppercorn, almonds and cardamom.

This may be a sports inspired gin, but this is a double distilled London Dry that is perfect in Gin & Tonics, Aviations & Martinis.
