## Products
- [Blackberry Gin Liqueur](https://www.sandymount.nz/product/blackberry-gin-liqueur/): \<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Inspired by the wild blackberry bushes around Sandymount, our Blackberry Gin Liqueur celebrates the resourcefulness of using what is available around us\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>This product is both a full strength gin \(37\.5% is the minimum requirement\) and full strength liqueur \(at least 100 grams of sugars per litre\)\. Made from blackberries picked from the Sandymount area, this gin liqueur has a warm, spicy richness and full\-bodied blackberry flavour\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Great things occur when the sugar content of a liqueur is met with the full strength of a gin\. This marriage creates a product where the blackberry sweetness softens the gin's strength\. At the same time, the gin maintains balance and clarity\. Resulting in a gin liqueur that is both vivid and robust\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>An english style full strength gin liqueur with a unique New Zealand twist\.\</span\>

- [Sandfly Rosso](https://www.sandymount.nz/product/1880-bitter-liqueur/): \<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>1880 Bitter Liqueur is inspired by the year 1880, when the Sandymount property title was drawn up\. William Larnach \(of the well known Larnach Castle\) shaved off a section of land belonging to his larger estate and transferred it to James Jackson, his groundskeeper\. The beginning of the Sandymount Estate that the distillery sits on now\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Sandymount’s 1880 Bitter Liqueur is rich with the dense warmth of cardamom and garden herbs, the bright bitterness of burnt orange peel, and the earthiness of artichoke, wormwood and fennel\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>1880 can be served on its own as a digestif, over ice, with soda or lemonade, or as a key component in a negroni\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Distilled in our copper pot still, this brandy offers a velvety and elegant profile\. Aromas of stewed plums and sun\-dried dates give way to warm buttery notes\. On the palate, a silky texture with hints of pepper, worn leather, and vanilla lingering on the end\.\</span\>

\<span style="font\-weight: 400;"\>Our Pinot Noir Brandy is a deeply expressive spirit that honours the character of the wine it came from \- layered, distinctive, and unmistakably New Zealand\.\</span\>
