Southward Maple Gin

A smooth and distinctive New Zealand craft gin combining classic botanicals with rich maple sweetness.

Southward Maple Gin is a New Zealand craft gin that blends traditional gin botanicals with the warm, rounded character of maple. Produced by Southward Distilling in Wellington, this expression reflects a modern and creative approach to flavour development.

Built on a juniper-led foundation, the gin delivers the expected structure of a classic style, while the addition of maple introduces a subtle sweetness that enhances the overall profile. This balance of fresh botanical notes and gentle richness creates a smooth and approachable spirit.

The maple influence adds depth without overpowering the gin, making it versatile across a range of serves. It can be enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic, or used to add a slightly sweeter, more rounded dimension to cocktails.

As part of Southward Distilling’s innovative range, Maple Gin highlights their ability to experiment with flavour while maintaining balance and drinkability. Visitors to their Wellington tasting room can explore this release alongside their wider range, with guided tastings and distillery tours available.
