As New Zealand's southernmost distillery, Rakiura Distilling Co. produce boutique spirits that celebrate Stewart Island's rich culture, colourful histories, and pristine environment. In the 18th Century, the Royal Navy began the practice of storing gin rations below deck alongside gunpowder. Anything under 57.15% - or "gunpowder proof" - was barred from ships, while any gin stronger was welcomed aboard. Locally foraged manuka, rimu, and horopito dance with juniper and coriander seed in a shower of the freshest rainwater on the planet - now of seafaring stature. Rakiura rain. Rakiura botanicals. Rakiura, bottled.
