Scapegrace Black

A naturally black New Zealand gin crafted with aronia berry, saffron, pineapple and kūmara, changing to a vivid purple-pink when mixed with tonic.

Scapegrace Black is a distinctive New Zealand gin recognised for its naturally black colour and dramatic colour-changing character. Crafted using botanical extracts of aronia berry, saffron, pineapple and New Zealand kūmara, the gin transforms from deep black to a vivid purple-pink when tonic water is added.

The aroma combines resinous juniper and dry earthy notes with a touch of tropical sweetness. On the palate, full-bodied floral character meets a crisp, cooling sensation, balanced citrus freshness and subtle spice.

The finish brings candied sweet potato and pineapple alongside natural citrus oils, while the mouthfeel is described as luxurious, velvety and lingering. Made with a wheat-based neutral spirit and Southern Alps water, Scapegrace Black offers both an unusual visual experience and a complex botanical profile.
