We have moved to beautiful Mangapai in Northland. That means we have to reapply for our Liquor Off License. This should be granted some time in November so bear with us! In the meantime you can buy from our stockists listed in the footer or contact us at info@vicarsson.co.nz if you need some guidance.

We undertake the entire fermenting and distilling process beginning with sourcing the Barley from Gladfield Malt in Canterbury through to cutting the final spirits with  Antipodes bottled water. Each bottle of gin is distilled with up to 15 botanicals. We only produce in very small numbers – each batch is a maximum of nine bottles distilled in our six litre still.

The nutrients and spent barley from the fermentation process get fed to either our lemon and lime trees or to the sheep and chicken at a mate’s place. All water used for cooling the stills is recycled - no waste leaves the property.

If you are making a G&T with our Gin please always mix with a quality tonic, we recommend and use Fever Tree Refreshingly Light. Friends don't let friends drink mass produced tonic.

One more thing, you may notice our gin go slightly cloudy in the bottle (especially the citrus based ones)- this is all the botanical oils and esters becoming less soluble the colder the temperature but then clear during the day when it's warmer, it's perfectly natural and it's because we don't chill filter like the big commercial distilleries - we want the flavour to stay in the gin. You can definitely see the effect when you add ice or tonic to your G&T!
