Twelfth Hour Dry Gin: A Symphony of Flavours

Twelfth Hour Dry Gin opens up a world of clean, crisp aromas that tantalize the senses. The initial burst of makrut (kaffir lime) on the tongue sets the stage for a long, dry finish that leaves a revitalizing taste lingering on the palate. This homegrown makrut, nurtured and grown by the Master Distiller's mother in her own garden, takes center stage, complemented by a bouquet of other botanical oils, including juniper, coriander seeds, lemon, and orange. Together, they create a punchy gin that is perfect for summer but can be enjoyed all year round.

What sets Twelfth Hour Dry Gin apart is its non-chill filtered nature. The botanical oils and their flavors are retained during the distilling process, resulting in a bold, full-mouth flavor. When ice, tonic, or other non-alcoholic liquids are added, the oils' dissolvability decreases, causing an alluring cloudiness to surface in the drink. This unique characteristic makes Twelfth Hour Dry Gin a smooth gin to drink neat and a delightful experience when mixed.

Twelfth Hour Distillery: Crafting Exquisite Gins

Twelfth Hour Distillery was born out of a desire to blend fresh, tantalizing, exotic botanicals from around the globe with premium New Zealand gin. With a commitment to quality and attention to detail, they produce their gin in small batches, with only 150 bottles crafted per batch. Each bottle is a testament to their dedication and passion for creating exceptional spirits.

Distilled with the exotic makrut lime (kaffir lime) for its revitalizing taste, Twelfth Hour Dry Gin is a labor of love made by a group of friends, meant to be shared with yours.
