Plug for our twilight series sponsors , very good gin . Bit of inside info , if you are paying more than $60-70 for a bottle of local you are being ripped . Gin is very simple to make commercially . Some of the locals use very elaborate bottles which most likely drives the price point . Black collar also makes a smoked northland pineapple Rum which is meant to be very very good if you can get hold of it . I've heard that name but that's about it. Yeap $60 would be way up there as you can see from the post above. Like many things marketing can turn a turd into gold by la-de-do-da packaging and with low cost prices to get the retail up that's common as muck.
smoked pineapple rum... dunno about that but I'd give it a go for sure.
Coincidently we were having a chat this morning about flavours and pineapple did get mentioned. I have Xmas brew planned and it is seriously Kiwi based but you'll have to wait for the details.

Settled on a London Dry style with hints of apple.
The still is warming as I write.
