As a kiwi I'm always really hopeful when i try kiwi gin. I generally find NZ gins anywhere from $20 -$30 more expensive than an international equivalent and unfortunately most just don't pass the sniff test for me. Unfortunately this gin was no exception. It tastes fine straight but i find nothing special about any of its flavours nor do i find anything lingering on the palate that makes me want to go back for more. There's nothing truly unique, nor anything inspired, unconventional or anything noteworthy about this gin at all. Perhaps i'm being harsh but this gin is completely forgettable and just gets lost in the pack of overpriced "artisanal" branded gins that just dont live up to any of their hype or marketing.
