Karu Lightning

An iconic navy strength gin that means business.

When we say this is the ‘World’s Best Contemporary Gin’ – we’re not joking. In 2021 Karu Lightning was graciously awarded this title at the International Wine and Spirits Convention.

Karu Lightning is unlike other navy gins. You can expect a smooth and rich double serving of juniper, pierced with a tangy and sour triple hit of citrus (lemon myrtle, grapefruit and mandarin). Honey bush tea and vanilla are what smoothes out all of the harsh edges here.

Are you ready to be struck by lightning? We’re betting it’s just one sip is all it takes to feel electrified.

This is quintessentially Karu, from the hand grown and picked rose geranium grown on site, down to the harvested tranquil mountain rain water that makes a smooth appearance.

Other fun recommended garnishes that are suggested alongside this navy are; chilli, grapefruit and burnt orange.
