The story of Milford Gin

Milford Gin is a New Zealand London dry gin made by Milford Distilling Limited and sold under licence by 1919 Distilling Limited. Its name comes from Milford Sound, which the explorer John Grono named Milford Haven in 1812 after the harbour in Wales. The brand links the Welsh coast with the fiords of Milford Sound and draws on the founder's move from Wales to New Zealand. The black glass bottle carries a peak-shaped M and a woven herringbone pattern drawn from Māori and Welsh design.

Eight botanicals go into it: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root, liquorice root, almond, New Zealand kawakawa and Welsh laver seaweed from the Pembrokeshire coast. The laver and kawakawa add a savoury edge to a juniper-led gin. It is bottled at 40 per cent. The palate is creamy, with coriander spice, lemon tart and orange peel, and a long dry finish with soft pepper.

The coastal character points to seafood. Try it with oysters, smoked salmon or grilled prawns, or build a dry martini or a gimlet to let the seaweed note show.
