Tasting Notes

Nose

Strong eucalyptus and menthol — lemon mint, pineapple sage, nutty wattle seed, the Australian native botanicals announcing themselves immediately, crisp and fresh eucalypt character

Palate

Sharp citrus and deep earthy notes — desert lime providing unique Australian citrus, peppermint gum leaf adding eucalyptus depth, wattle seed nuttiness, finger lime caviar-like citrus bursts, Tasmanian pepper berry warmth, complex and layered

Finish

Clean and refreshing — locally grown juniper asserting on the finish, the 25 native botanicals creating a long aromatic trail, earthy and green, a walk through the Adelaide Hills bush

Expert Review

8/10

Founded in 2012 by winemakers Brendan and Laura Carter in Gumeracha, Adelaide Hills. Up to 25 native Australian botanicals — desert lime, wattle seed, peppermint gum leaf, finger lime, Tasmanian pepper berry — steeped in grape spirit. Strong eucalyptus and menthol nose, sharp citrus and deep earthy palate, clean refreshing finish. A gin that could not come from anywhere else on Earth.
