Hawke’s Bay gin maker National Distillery has done something truly special.  

They have created a brand-new Hawke’s Bay Cyclone Relief Gin to raise funds for those affected by Cyclone Grabreille after the devastating cyclone hit the region. 

The team at NDC, with the help of their amazing collaborators, has crafted a classic London dry gin with a refreshing lemon and lime twist that celebrates the growers of the region. 

What makes this gin truly unique is its stunning label, designed by the talented local artists Stems & Paper. And that's not all - Strokers has generously donated T-shirts to support the cause, and there are stickers available as well! 

Kiwis purchasing this special-edition Hawkes Bay gin, are not only showing their support for those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle but also supporting a small business during these tough times. National Distillery says they will be donating 80% of the profits directly to the Hawkes Bay Foundation, with the remaining 20% helping them stay afloat. 

This initiative is ongoing, and National Distillery is always on the lookout for more collaborators to join them in making a difference in the community. So, whether you're a gin lover, a supporter of small businesses, or someone who wants to help out during these challenging times, this special-edition gin is the perfect way to show your support. 

You won't want to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy a delicious, locally-made gin while supporting a great cause. National Distillery has truly done something special, and we can all be a part of it.
