Description
What type of spirit is it
Scapegrace Gold Dry Gin, produced by Scapegrace in New Zealand, is a powerful London Dry Gin crafted in a classic Navy Strength style at 57% ABV. Distilled from pure wheat and infused with twelve botanicals, it offers a deeply structured profile. The nose reveals complex layers of citrus, including lemon, orange, and mandarin, followed by a firm juniper presence. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warm, displaying a spicy character with a subtle peppery prickle that leads to a persistent finish, making it an ideal base for classic cocktails.
Where does it come from
Hailing from New Zealand at the foot of the Southern Alps, this spirit is the creation of three friends dedicated to artisan distilling. The defining element of the liquid is its exceptional water source: meteoric spring water from the South Island. Naturally filtered through underground rock for eighty years, this pristine water provides a clean base that elevates the crisp aromatic definition of the botanicals. The local environment deeply influences the final character, ensuring a refined tasting experience driven by its vibrant botanical blend.
How is it produced
Production begins with the fermentation of pure wheat and the infusion of twelve botanicals. The spirit undergoes a single-batch distillation within a 19th-century copper pot still, ensuring extreme precision in aroma extraction. By remaining at its formidable strength, the gin retains a robust structure, allowing bright citrus, bold juniper, and warm spices to be vividly expressed. The bright, crystalline liquid is further distinguished by the addition of 23-carat gold flakes, completing this highly concentrated distillate.
History and Heritage
Founded in New Zealand by two brothers-in-law and a part-time musician, Scapegrace is meticulously produced through single-batch distillation in a 19th-century copper pot still. It owes its remarkable purity to Southern Alps spring water, which is naturally filtered through underground rock for eighty years. Crowned the world’s Best London Dry Gin in 2018, this exclusive edition of only 500 bottles is elegantly elevated by shimmering 23-carat gold flakes.

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.
