Budo Spirits

Budo is a New Zealand spirits brand built around budō, the Japanese martial way, where discipline and craft are meant to go hand in hand. The range spans a gin and a matching vodka, both distilled using pure New Zealand spring water and both built on the same idea of quiet precision over showiness. Rather than following a single overseas style, Budo blends familiar gin making technique with Japanese botanical influences, giving it a genuinely distinctive spot within Easy Tiger's wider gin selection.

That fusion carries through most clearly in the gin, where classic juniper forward botanicals sit alongside Japanese ingredients for a cleaner, more citrus driven character than a typical London Dry. The vodka follows a similar restrained approach, aiming for a smooth, refined finish rather than raw strength. The gin in particular sits comfortably alongside other names in New Zealand gin built on quality over volume.
