In the Beginning



Anthony Sexton: otherwise known as
“The Gin Guy”
I created this blog as a means of sharing some of my experiences as a Craft Gin producer as well as some of the great things that Gin has going for it and why it is one spirit that is ready to shake off its underdog image.

I have been deliberating for a few months now on where to start, so much can be said about Gin what it is where it’s been and where it’s going but I thought first I will share a bit about me and my experiences, so bear with me through a short history lesson.

My father John started making moonshine in our Ellerslie garage in the early 2000's (did you know NZ is the only country in which this is actually legal), not happy with off the shelf flavours and equipment he spent long hours experimenting in the garage.
