Scapegrace

In an abandoned shed on New Zealand's South Island, the distillers behind Scapegrace found an old whisky distillery – and decided to build their own gin house on top of the ruins. This is where the country's southernmost, most colourful gin comes from, one that literally changes colour in the glass.

   

About Scapegrace

Scapegrace is a distillery from Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island, primarily known for its Black Gin, which changes colour from black to pink when mixed with tonic. For newcomers it's a colourful, playful gin experience that surprises right from the pour; for collectors it's notable that the distillery was founded in an old, abandoned whisky shed, giving the brand a raw, authentic origin story that stands apart from many polished gin brands.

The distillery is regarded as one of the country's southernmost and has since expanded its range with several other spirit types.

History & Background

Scapegrace Distillery was founded in 2013 in Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island and is the country's southernmost distillery, something the brand leans into as part of its rebellious identity at the edge of the world. The brand quickly became internationally known for its Black Gin, which as a neat trick changes colour from black to pink when mixed with tonic, thanks to a natural dye from the Butterfly Pea flower.

Production & Style

Production draws on New Zealand's clean, cool climate and local ingredients.
