Curiosity Gin

Curiosity Gin Curious by Nature. Curiosity Gin was founded in 2016 and produces a range of award winning, contemporary gins with a New Zealand twist. Gin was the first target.

Curiosity Gin is made "grain to glass" from the best available New Zealand native and international botanicals. In late 2015 four friends got together and bought a small still, curious to see if we could develop distinctly New Zealand spirits. We set out to develop a Gin that was truly individual and would stand out from the crowd and the tonic. After many trials and a few late nights mixing botan

icals and of course tasting gins, recipe 23 was settled on and in late 2016 launched as Curiosity Gin. Curiosity Gin is made 100% in-house, in small batches, starting from locally sourced malted grain and the best quality botanicals available including East Coast Manuka berries and leaves, fresh Gisborne Orange and Lime zest and Otago Lavender for a true New Zealand twist.

That’s a lot of oranges to peel and one very patient pair of hands. 🍊

Every peel is prepared by hand, ready to bring fresh citrus character to our gin. Any guesses how many oranges we got through?

We know a few of you have been waiting for this… 👀

Our Green Fairy, Absinthe Verte, is back!

We know there are a few of you out there who have a soft spot for absinthe, so this one’s for you. 💚

Crafted from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc brandy spirit and awarded Double Gold at the NZ Spirits Awards 2024, it’s bold, herbal and best enjoyed slowly.

Grab a bottle from our online store, our distillery cellar door, or Curiosity Cocktail Bar in Riverside Market. If you’d rather enjoy it by the glass, our Curiosity Cocktail Bar has you covered. 🍸

Good things take a bit of time. 😉

Back in June, we took Curiosity Gin to JFEX in Tokyo. 🇯🇵

More than 200 people stopped by for a taste, and we loved seeing so many people enjoy the flavours of our distinctive New Zealand botanicals. We also met plenty of people interested in stocking Curiosity Gin in Japan.
We’re excited about what comes next!

A big thank you to GinLab Japan | GinLab Liquor for capturing these beautiful moments. 💛
