Scapegrace Giftbox Twinpack Premium Dry Gin 2x20 cl 42,2-57%

Two brothers-in-law, an abandoned 19th-century whisky still, and a shared dream of distilling their own — that's the story behind New Zealand's largest independent spirits company.

Expert description

Scapegrace Gift Set Twinpack Premium Dry Gin includes two miniature-format sets of Scapegrace's award-winning gin. Scapegrace was founded in 2014 in New Zealand by brothers-in-law Daniel McLaughlin and Mark Neal together with Richard Bourke, united by a shared dream of making their own gin. The gin is distilled at the foot of New Zealand's Southern Alps on a 19th-century whisky still, discovered in a long-abandoned shed. The brand was originally called Rogue Society, but was renamed Scapegrace in 2017 when it entered the European market and ran into a copyright conflict with a similarly named brewery. Scapegrace Gin was named World's Best London Dry Gin at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in 2018.
