Dr Beak - Growing Gin from the Ground Up This journey takes us to Martinborough to sit down with Lacey from Dr Beak - a distillery redefining what it means to make gin in New Zealand. What started as backyard experiments and a simple “should we make gin?” message has grown into a brand driven by curiosity, creativity and a deep connection to the land. From garden-grown botanicals to bold experiments like their umeshu and juniper-forward exploration series, we dive into how Doctor Baek is pushing boundaries while staying true to gin. Lacey shares the story behind their distinctive name, their commitment to locally sourced ingredients, and their long-term vision of creating a true single-site botanical gin. We also explore the challenges of growing your own ingredients, the resurgence of juniper in New Zealand, and what it means to build a flavour profile that reflects place, patience and experimentation.
