Production & Heritage

Hali'imaile Distilling Company operates on Maui and has built its reputation around incorporating locally sourced Hawaiian ingredients into its spirits. Fid Street Gin is distilled in small batches using glass stills—an uncommon choice that allows distillers to monitor the process visually and avoid metallic contact with the spirit. The botanical roster includes juniper, lavender, orange rinds, lemon rinds, orris root, fennel, grains of paradise, cardamom, coriander, cedar leaf, angelica, and Maui Gold pineapples grown on the island. The inclusion of fresh pineapple in the mash bill is a genuinely rare production choice and gives this gin a subtle tropical undertone that sets it apart from mainland and European gins.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Juniper leads, followed by a clean bouquet of fresh-cut florals, citrus peel, and a cooling lavender note. A whisper of pine and forest air lingers underneath, with delicate tropical fruit emerging as the gin opens up.

Taste: The entry is smooth and velvety, with juniper asserting itself immediately before yielding to bright citrus zest, canned palm hearts, and a crisp herbal character. At mid-palate, grains of paradise and cardamom deliver a peppery warmth, while the Maui Gold pineapple adds an elegant tropical sweetness that never overwhelms. The body is dry and medium-weight, with a crisp, well-balanced structure.

Finish: Medium in length with a tingling interplay of green herbs, pine, and black pepper. Candied violet and bitter citrus linger as the warmth fades, leaving a clean, aromatic close.

How to Drink Fid Street Gin

Neat or over a single large ice cube is the most revealing way to experience the full botanical complexity, particularly the pineapple-lavender interplay. A splash of chilled tonic and a citrus twist makes for an outstanding Gin & Tonic that highlights the tropical aromatics. In a Bee's Knees, the honey-lemon framework amplifies the gin's floral and citrus dimensions beautifully. A classic Aviation works well because the lavender in the gin echoes the crème de violette. For something bolder, a Negroni built with Fid Street adds an unexpected tropical edge that balances the bitterness of Campari.
