Kiwi gin, standard profile
Waiheke from New Zealand at 42% is a clean London Dry, but the Waiheke Island provenance doesn't translate into anything distinctively Kiwi in the flavour. The juniper is solid, the botanicals are balanced — it's a perfectly fine London Dry, just not as exciting as the exotic origin suggests.
