Island Gin

International recognition for our remote solar powered distillery on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand, and history in the making, literally!

Madame Distiller Ltd, aka Andi Ross, the maker of Island Gin, has been shortlisted for the IWSC International Gin Producer Trophy in London.

The first New Zealand gin producer ever shortlisted.

This is not an award for one gin. It is recognition of our whole range, our sustainable distillery, and everything we have built here on the island. As the IWSC puts it, these trophies “go beyond the performance of an individual spirit” and recognise strength across an entire portfolio.

Island Gin Original and Island Gin Navy Strength both won Gold. Orange and Mānuka Bush Honey Gin also received a medal.

We are beyond proud. Fingers crossed for November 24.
