Spirit of Waiheke Gin
The heart of the island, distilled.
About.
The heart of the island, distilled.
This is where our story begins.
Spirit of Waiheke is a reflection of place — of descending waters, coastal light, and the quiet magic of Cowes Bay. Distilled on the eastern edge of Waiheke Island, where the land falls gently toward the sea, this gin captures the island’s generosity and calm.
Eleven botanicals are layered with intention, including giant kelp, bright citrus, and a whisper of cardamom. The result is smooth and approachable, with a clean, lingering finish and a subtle lift of lime — a gin that welcomes rather than overwhelms.
Enjoyed slowly at the end of a long summer day, this is Waiheke hospitality in liquid form. A spirit shaped by aroha, craft, and care for the land — designed to transport you, wherever you are in the world.
