Many years ago gin was coined 'Dutch Courage' by soldiers for its calming effect before battle. Upper Hutt, the home of Ruin has a proud military history as do it's makers, and this connection is the inspiration behind The Courage.
The botanical profile includes bay leaves (for victory), wild fennel seeds (chewed by Roman soldiers for courage) and rosemary (for remembrance). In short, Ruin's The Courage is a meticulously made fighting spirit for the modern warrior.
