Roots Marlborough Dry Gin

Introducing a limited release bottling of our signature Roots Marlborough Dry Gin and something truly special. In partnership with @hospicemarlborough , we’ve created something that goes beyond a beautifully crafted spirit. Each purchase donates proceeds to support vital specialist care in our community, offering comfort, dignity, and compassion to those who need it most. Proudly showing their identity through our native kowhai flower and legendary hospice cat "Lexi". When you share this gin with friends and whānau, you’re not just raising a glass, you’re honouring local heroes who donate their time and empathy to support others in their final moments. A simple gesture. A lasting impact. Available while stokes last via our online store - rootsdrygin.com #HospiceMarlborough @elementaldistillers #RootsDryGin

Did you know... In 2022, we launched our Roots "Norwester" Navy Strength Gin (54.5%) by recreating the historic gunpowder 'proof' test. Complete with naval bunting, a Sea Cadets cutter, cannons, muskets, a retired Naval Commander and Scottish drummer, we blew up our first ever bottle of Navy Strength gin in a howitzer shell on #WorldGinDay. Gunpowder proofing was used by the Royal Navy for almost a century to test the strength of rum and gin purchased for voyages to ensure merchants weren't diluting their stocks for larger sales volumes. "Proofing" was made by igniting a sample of the spirit with gunpowder. If it was diluted with water, it wouldn't combust. Fast forward to the invention of the Sykes hydrometer in 1803, and we see the proof scale used to formally measure alcohol strength against density. Roots Norwester Navy Strength Gin has the addition of giant kelp and hemp seed in further connection to the Royal Navy as illustrated on our label (sacks, sails, ropes, cannons, gunpowder and a NW weather system). Tastes pretty good too. ROOTS - NOT JUST ANOTHER GIN. #RootsDryGin #NZGin @ElementalDistillers #GunpowderProof

Have you visited our distillery? Located smack bang in the middle of the beautiful Marlborough vineyards and the Wairau Valley. Roots Gin specialises in the London Dry style, a legally defined category championing juniper as a dominant profile and yet not geographically specific to London. For this reason you will see 'Marlborough Dry Gin' proudly stated on our label. Roots Dry Gin - London Dry by style, Marlborough Dry by origin. #RootsDryGin #AwardWinning #NZGin @ElementalDistillers
