STILLWATERS GIN

Waimarino, meaning "Still Waters" in Māori, is nestled in the tranquil beauty of Bob’s Cove, the perfect setting to unwind with a cocktail. Inspired by the essence of this pristine corner of Aotearoa, we created Still Waters Gin to capture its spirit—infused with native botanicals, crisp air, and pure flavours.

Our gin reflects the region’s character, while our vodka, distilled seven times in handcrafted copper stills, ensures exceptional purity and smoothness. Both spirits use water sourced from nearby glacial fields, enhancing their unique qualities.

Committed to organic methods, we craft small-batch spirits with a silky-smooth mouthfeel and botanical undertones, offering a taste that elevates every sip into something truly special.
