Blush Gin & Weekender Gin bring home awards from New Zealand's NEW Gin Competition

We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that our gins have taken home multiple awards at the brand new NZ Gin Competition for 2025 and we were stoked to be a part of it. This is a true testament to the passion, quality and creativity we pour into every bottle.

The NZ Gin Competition was established to recognise the finest gins crafted in Aotearoa, honouring both boutique distillers and established producers, with judging based on aroma, flavour, balance, and overall quality. This year’s inaugural edition attracted nearly 100 entries across six categories, making the competition intense and highly competitive.

Here’s how we did:

Blush Rhubarb Gin (flavoured): 🏆 Champion Flavoured Gin

- this was the top-ranked flavoured gin in the competition! What a huge success!

Blush Citrus Gin (flavoured): 🥈 Silver Medal 

Weekender Peach Gin (flavoured): 🥉 Bronze Medal 

Weekender Jalapeno Lemon Gin (flavoured): 🥉 Bronze Medal
