New Zealand Botanical Gin (46%abv)
Regular price $189.99 NZD
/

Little Biddy® Gin – Black Label is characterised by a backbone of distilled local grain spirit, wild water, and hand harvested native botanicals, boasting an elevated sophistication that is truly divine.

Black Label displays a botanical intensity reminiscent of the loftiest heights of the West Coast rainforest and the purest depths of the wild water feeding it. Foraged Watercress, Snow Moss, Kahikatea tips, and Toatoa all deliver a soulful aromatic experience. At 46% ABV, the concentrated distillate ensures brighter, more crystalline flavours awash with volatile aromatics. A sophisticated and layered gin, suited to quiet, contemplative moments, and discerning minds.

Created in honour of Reefton legend little Biddy, a gin-toting, 4 foot tall gold prospector.  Our search for native botanicals takes us deep into the same West Coast rainforest where Biddy once fossicked for gold, to craft a uniquely New Zealand selection of small batch distilled gins with attitude.

Serving Suggestion: Neat, over ice or with a drop of water to further open up the aromatics.

Gutsy little drop!

Took a sneaky bottle of this over to Canada for Christmas--it ended up being quite the holiday spirit! Lovely and unique flavoured gin which we enjoyed mixed with just a bit of tonic. Will be purchasing again for our next trip over, as requested by family and friends. Thank you for making such a beautifully crafted product.

Botanicals

Kahikatea

Dacrycarpus dacrydioides is one of the 13 botanicals in our Little Biddy Gin. A conifer found in lowland forest and wetlands, native Kahikatea trees grow in the lush rainforest surrounding our distillery.

Its prolific fruit is a favourite of Kereru and Tui.

Toatoa

Phyllocladus alpinus also known as mountain celery pine is an inhabitant of Reefton’s lowland to sub-alpine rainforest.

This native plant delivers a vibrant resinous tannic character to our Little Biddy Gin range crushing leaves between your fingers releases subtle citrus elements that are quickly followed by rich, fresh pine resin notes.

Snow Moss

Cladia retipora is a latticed lichen native to New Zealand which grows freely in the sub-alpine rainforest surrounding our distillery. It often grows alongside moss in clumps or large mats which look like snow, hence its common name Snow Moss or Snow Lichen.

While it might seem like an unusual ingredient the Snow Moss provides our Little Biddy Gin with a nice mineral finish.

Watercress

Watercress only grows in the purest of water and we are lucky that we have plenty of fresh springs around the Reefton area and wider West Coast.

Watercress provides our Little Biddy Gin with a warm wasabi like spice flavour to finish.
