Rested before bottling

Hiker's Hut started in the mountains of New Zealand.

The kind of place where a drink at the end of a long day feels earned.

It's a contemporary dry gin, softened with apple and local honey and layered with juniper, citrus and a touch of cardamom. Honey on the nose, a clean, structured palate, and a dry finish with just enough warmth to linger.

A note from the distillers

New Zealand is where our story began. It’s where we met, where we spent years exploring, and where we learned to slow down and take things in properly. Long walks through native bush, quiet mountain huts, the kind of places where a simple drink at the end of the day felt earned.

This gin is tied to those moments. Time spent outdoors, crisp air, warm light and the easy rhythm that comes when effort gives way to rest. Often shared with others, sometimes with people you’ve only just met.

Built on a classic dry gin structure, it’s layered with apple and local honey for a gentle softness, supported by juniper, citrus and subtle spice. It opens aromatic, carries a clean, structured palate and finishes dry, with just enough warmth to linger.

Distilled in Melbourne and shaped by our time in New Zealand, it’s less about recreating a place exactly and more about holding onto what it felt like to be there. An invitation to gather, share something good and stay a little longer.

Food and occasions

Good food. Good company.

At the table

Cheese boards
The honey gets on well with an aged cheddar or goat cheese, and the apple cuts through a soft brie. Add honeycomb if you're feeling fancy.
Seafood
A G&T with oysters, or grilled prawns with citrus. The cardamom does something quietly clever with lighter seafood.
Charcuterie
Apple and juniper complement cured meats perfectly especially prosciutto and salami. The gin's complexity stands up to bold flavours without overwhelming delicate ones.
Dark Chocolate
The bitter-sweet complexity of 70% cocoa matches the gin's depth, while honey notes soften the intensity. A surprisingly perfect match.
