Southward Smoked Rosemary Gin

A distinctive New Zealand craft gin infused with smoked rosemary, offering a savoury, herbaceous profile with subtle smoky depth.

Southward Smoked Rosemary Gin is a New Zealand craft gin that brings together traditional botanicals with a savoury and aromatic twist. Produced by Southward Distilling in Wellington, this expression highlights the use of smoked rosemary to create a layered and distinctive flavour profile.

Built on a classic juniper-led base, the gin maintains structure and balance while introducing herbaceous notes from rosemary. The smoking process adds a gentle depth, enhancing the botanical profile with subtle savoury complexity rather than overpowering smoke.

The result is a clean yet characterful gin that stands out for its aromatic qualities and versatility. It can be enjoyed in a simple gin and tonic, where the rosemary and smoke add interest, or used in cocktails that benefit from herbaceous and savoury elements.

As part of Southward Distilling’s innovative range, Smoked Rosemary Gin reflects their approach to pushing flavour boundaries while maintaining drinkability. Visitors to their Wellington tasting room can explore this release alongside their wider range, with guided tastings and distillery tours available.
