The Pioneer
An award-winning non-alcoholic spirit, wild honeybush forward
The Pioneer is a premium non-alcoholic spirit from Barker & Quin — an award-winning blend built around wild-harvested South African honeybush. Tea-like sweetness, juniper depth, and a clean citrus finish, for the discerning sober-curious palate.
This award-winning blend highlights the unique character of wild-harvested honeybush. A mellow, tea-like sweetness and rich antioxidant depth — delivering a sophisticated, virgin-distilled twist on a traditional spirit.
1 × 750ml Bottle
Flavour
A complex and refreshing infusion that marries the resinous depth of juniper with the mellow, tea-like sweetness of South African honeybush. Balanced by the earthy spice of coriander and angelica root, finished with a crisp, botanical snap.
Aroma
A juniper-forward bouquet layered with a bright, uplifting burst of citrus.
Colour
A rich amber-gold derived from the infusion of honeybush tannins. Tannins may cause small sediment over time.
Ingredients
Spring Water, Juniper, Coriander, Angelica Root, Lime, Rose, Lavender, Honeybush
How to drink The Pioneer
Serve long over ice with our Finest Indian Tonic or Honeybush Orange Tonic and a fresh citrus garnish. The amber-gold honeybush profile also makes it an excellent base for a non-alcoholic Negroni or Old Fashioned.
