Distilled right here at the Waikino Hotel, Kaimai Distillery crafts award‑winning spirits that weave together Kaimai botanicals, heritage, and passion. From the medal‑winning Eliza’s Claim Gold Gin to Apple Pie Moonshine, and the evocative, colour‑changing Agatha’s Tears Dark Gin, every sip tells a story.
 

Eliza’s Claim Gold Gin honours Eliza Earl, a bold woman of the Kaimai goldfields, the amber liquid glittering with real gold flecks (just like the land it's made on). Agatha’s Tears Dark Gin, inspired by our legendary hotel ghost, changes colour from darkness to beautiful blues and pinks when mixed. 

 

The Kaimai Distillery range includes five styles of gin, a spiced rum, a honey moonshine and Oracle – the world’s first sugar free liqueur range. Created in small batches,you can taste these award winning spirits and liquers and purchase your hand numbered bottle from the Waikino Hotel or online today.
