Description
Che tipo di distillato è
Scapegrace Black Gin is a striking New Zealand spirit distilled from pure grain at 41.6% ABV. Its naturally dark hue, derived from botanical extracts, creates a fascinating colour-changing effect, shifting to violet or red when mixed with tonic water. The aromatic profile is led by resinous juniper, balanced by citrus and earthy spice. On the palate, this full-bodied gin offers a smooth texture with hints of menthol and a clean finish. It is ideal served neat, over ice, or as the base for distinctive mixed drinks.
Da dove proviene
This spirit is deeply rooted in New Zealand, developed by founders Mark Neal and Daniel McLaughlin. A defining element of its crisp profile is the use of pure Southern Alps spring water. Filtered naturally through subterranean rock for eighty years, it imparts a velvety mouthfeel to the gin. The local environment provides the pristine resources that enhance the craft batch distillation process, enabling Scapegrace to create a highly aromatic and authentic New Zealand expression of a classic juniper-forward profile.
Come viene prodotto
Production begins with a pure grain base that undergoes an intricate botanical infusion. The liquid is refined through a small-batch double distillation process in a nineteenth-century copper pot still. The recipe features over twelve botanicals, including coriander, angelica, and cinnamon. Its signature dark tint is achieved through natural extracts from aronia berries, saffron, and butterfly pea. The resulting profile highlights sharp citrus, concluding with a persistent finish of sweet potato and candied pineapple.
History and Curiosities
Born from the shared passion of two friends, Scapegrace is the world’s first naturally black gin. This artisanal spirit is meticulously crafted in New Zealand using a 19th-century copper pot still for a refined small-batch double distillation. By blending pure Southern Alps spring water—filtered through subterranean rock for eighty years—with botanicals such as aronia berries and butterfly pea, it delivers a luxurious tasting experience. When mixed with tonic, it produces a spectacular colour-changing effect, transforming its dark hue into a vibrant violet or red.

A distillery dedicated to the highly artisanal production of Gin, made only in small batches, in order to always maintain high quality standards. A Gin that is born after the infusion, in the pure fermented wheat, of 12 different "botanicals", where, next to the juniper, we find coriander, angelica, iris, cinnamon and other elements, which contribute to enrich the olfactory profile.
During the working process, which uses a copper still of the pot-like type of the nineteenth century, also the water has its importance, and for this the team of Scapegrace uses the purest that flows on the southern mountain ranges of the New Zealand, filtered deep through underground rocks.
Today the distillery gives rise to two labels, the "Dry" and the "Gold", both awarded in different competitions, from London to San Francisco, demonstrating the quality that is found in the Scapegrace products, perfect to be mixed inside of the most famous cocktails, from the most classic Gin & Tonic to the everlasting Martini.
