From the pristine landscapes of New Zealand, a country better known for wine than gin, comes a rebellious spirit that’s quickly become a modern classic. Scapegrace, meaning rogue or mischief-maker, lives up to its name by rewriting the rules of craft gin, blending tradition with bold Southern Hemisphere flair. Crafted in small batches and distilled at the foot of the Southern Alps, this gin reflects purity, adventure, and a twist of defiance.

Scapegrace Classic Dry Gin - Small Batch 70cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Bright and vibrant, bursting with juniper, citrus zest, and delicate floral undertones. A whisper of earthy spice lingers just beneath the surface.

Production Details:
Scapegrace Classic is distilled using pure New Zealand alpine water and a botanically rich blend of 12 ingredients including juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, cardamom, cassia, and angelica. Traditional pot stills, one of which is a restored 19th-century copper beauty, are used in small batches to retain full flavor integrity.

G&T purists, cocktail creatives, or those seeking a bold-yet-balanced gin to elevate their spirits collection. Ideal for a crisp summer sundowner or a polished evening cocktail.

Expert Notes:
A standout gin with both personality and poise. Scapegrace balances classic dry gin elements with a refreshing modern edge, perfect in a Negroni, flawless in a Martini, and unforgettable in a Gin & Tonic with orange peel garnish.

Customer Reviews:
"Bright, smooth, and full of flavour, this became my go to fast."
"Love the New Zealand angle. This gin feels clean and confident."
"I bought it for the bottle. I stayed for the botanical magic."

Interesting Fact:
The striking black bottle was inspired by apothecary flasks and embossed with the coordinates of the distillery’s location, a nod to its precise craftsmanship and off-the-map roots.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a premium tonic, plenty of ice, and a slice of orange to complement the citrus-forward profile. Also stunning in gin-based classics like the Tom Collins or Aviation.

Distillery Background:
Founded by two friends who quit their day jobs to follow a passion for distillation, Scapegrace (originally Rogue Society) quickly gained international acclaim. Now one of New Zealand’s most awarded spirits, it reflects a region that’s fresh, unspoiled, and willing to challenge tradition in the best way possible.
