Our
Story
Embark on a journey with Milford Gin, where the rugged shores of Wales meet the natural beauty of New Zealand over every sip.
Milford Sound, famously known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” was originally named Milford Haven by Welsh explorer John Grono in 1812, in honour of the famed harbour in his homeland. This connection between two distant yet kindred coastlines inspire the very spirit of Milford Gin.
Rooted in the spirit of exploration and shaped by our founder’s own journey from Wales to New Zealand, Milford Gin is more than just gin. It embodies global heritage, cultural connection, and the bold pursuit of new horizons.
Our London Dry Gin unites Laver seaweed from the Welsh Pembrokeshire coast with native New Zealand Kawakawa, alongside traditionally selected botanicals, to craft a versatile, juniper-forward London Dry Gin that embodies place and provenance and pays tribute to timeless tradition.
As a brand that values culture and heritage, we would be remiss not to acknowledge that Milford Sound has a native name, known in Māori as Piopiotahi. This name is drawn from the legend of the demigod Māui. After his passing, a single piopio bird is said to have flown over the Sound to mourn him, giving the place its poetic name, Piopiotahi “one piopio.”
LONDON DRY
Distilled with eight carefully selected botanicals, perfectly steeped to create a balanced and versatile gin. Our truly traditional juniper-forward London Dry Gin incorporates two subtle but unique botanicals: Laver Seaweed, harvested from the Pembrokeshire coastline near Milford Haven in Wales, and Kawakawa, foraged from the natural landscapes of New Zealand.
Botanicals:
Juniper, Coriander Seed, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Liquorice Root,
Almonds, New Zealand Kawakawa & Welsh Laver Seaweed.
Taste:
Bold juniper with bright, delicate citrus notes, a hint of umami and spice, and a rich, silky texture for a perfectly balanced and versatile London Dry gin.
