Taste
Refined for modern tastes, Gilded Chaos is a gin with lengthened aromatics and lifted weight and texture. It delights on the nose with the floral tones of sage, and to taste, macadamia and cardamom for smoothness and elegance. QT dares to delve into a Four Pillars first with unique ingredients such as vetiver, a rare plant bringing savoury and earthy notes, wild fennel, and brightened by the citrus of lemon leaves..
Get to know Gilded Chaos with Cameron. From the nuances of flavour, it’s purity and balance, this gin is nothing short of extraordinary.

Launching with this gin are three luxe libations for expert imbibers, exclusive to QT restaurants and bars.
The Gilded Chaos Luxe Martini
A freezer-door martini designed for the drinker to make their drink completely theirs with a trio of garnish options. The martini evolves throughout the ritual, each garnish will provide a new drinking dimension to the flavours and structure of the Gilded Chaos Gin.
The Gilded Gibson
Incorporating modern techniques with old fashioned style. Cocchi Vermouth di Torino Dry, with its intricate blend of herbs and spices, adds a deep sweetness to heighten the macadamia, hinoki wood and vetiver in Gilded Chaos. To add an extra layer of aromatic charm, kaffir lime leaf is nitro-flashed with cocktail onion brine to bring a brightness in the savoury notes of the onion itself. And that is the Gilded Gibson.
The Gilded Gibson is exclusive to QT Hotels & Resorts in Australia.
The Gilded Elixir
A twist on the classic Martinez, a cocktail popular during the Gilded Age. The Gilded Elixir incorporates the tart sweetness from maraschino liqueur and sharp tang of verjus. Perched atop this cocktail is a caramelised lemon wheel, which is to be dissolved into the drink at the discretion of the drinker, adding the desired touch of extra citrus and sweetness.
The Gilded Elixir is exclusive to QT Hotels & Resorts in New Zealand.
