12 Australian Gin Pack
Serving suggestions and gin tasting notes

This pack includes the following gins:


Cedar Fox – Signature Gin

A tip of the hat to the old world. Wheat grain spirit, juniper aromas, savoury, peppery flavours and a sweet hint of citrus. Botanicals such as juniper berries, coriander seed, meyer lemon, Lebanese cucumber, Sichuan peppercorn, rosemary & lemon verbena.

Serving Suggestion

Delicious in a Gin & Tonic


West Winds – The Cutlass

An aromatic gin which combines juniper with Aussie elements, like cinnamon myrtle, lemon myrtle and bush tomato. Herbaceous from more fresh coriander root than citrus. Sweet umami notes from bush tomato. Almost cocoa and sun-dried tomato. The most awarded Australian gin. Lime flavours more than lemon so use in lime based cocktails. 

Serving Suggestion

Sip with ice or as a sublime G&T with lime. Try also as a Gimlet or Southside cocktails.


Adelaide Hills – 78deg Sunset

A complex and savoury Gin distilled from a grape base and vapour infused with 12 botanicals, selected specifically for their purity and quality. Pungently aromatic and displaying resinous, citrus and floral notes with underlying spice. 

Serving Suggestion

Try it as a simple gin and tonic. Alternatively, for the more adventurous out there, try it in a Lemon Aspen Collins.


Granddad Jacks – Two Pencils

Smooth, rich London Dry enhanced with citrus or sweet liqueurs; a real juniper-gin. To make a penny, Granddad Jack would go to the Timaru races and break a full pencil into two halves, sharpening each end and selling them for the same price as a full one. This was the first time he had made money.

Serving Suggestion

Served best in a classic Gin and Tonic with fresh cucumber and ice.

 

Never Never Distilling Co. – Triple Juniper Gin

Aromas of pine needle, brushed rosemary, lemon oil, earthy root and fragrant pepper. Strong in cocktails, especially negroni and martini serves. Plush and oily, juniper-heavy aromas combine with citrus, fresh sawn pine, coriander, faint anise and white pepper warmth. Follows through with a silky wave of juniper gelato, citrus peel and delicate pepper-cinnamon warmth. Leaner and more linear to finish; the spice and lime pick up where the juniper trails off. Excellent length.

Serving Suggestion

Try it in their Triple Juniper Gin & Tonic here

 

Loch Brewery & Distillery – Classic Dry

Juniper led, expressive, fragrant and soft on the finish. Mix as a G&T or Negroni, also enjoyable neat over ice with Lemon garnish. 12 Botanicals: juniper, cinnamon, cardamom, angelica, liquorice root, mace, cassia bark, coriander, nutmeg, oris root, orange & ginger.

Boatrocker Brewers and Distillers – Jungle Gin

Jungle Gin delivers big punchy flavours. Inspired by SE Asia, this gin is distilled using the traditional one-shot method where the makrut lime leaves, lemongrass and ginger are distilled alongside the more traditional juniper, coriander, cassia & citrus peel. A gin of unrivalled aromatics and flavour. Enjoy as a G&T or in your favourite gin cocktails for a unique twist.

Serving Suggestion

JUNGLE GIN’S bright aromatics work wonderfully with a dry tonic garnished with a lime leaf, yet equally well in any citrus forward cocktail.

 

Lawrenny Estate Distilling – Highlands Gin

A refreshing and crisp gin. Blue cypress notes and the bright fruitiness of grapefruit, orange and buchu with mint notes lingering. The sweet earthiness of ginger, cubeb pepper and grains of paradise add a gentle bite while chamomile provides sweetness. A tribute to the spectacular region that locates Lawrenny Estate.

Serving Suggestions

Ideal in a Charlie Chaplin Cocktail. 

 

McHenrys – Federation Gin

Manly Spirits – Coastal Citrus

Summer on the coast; rock pools, sea spray and hints of shell fish. Inspired by the Aussie coast and its native pantry.

Abel Gin Co. – Quintessence

Dark and brooding, rich and complex this gin has multiple layers to entice even the most jaded palate.

Serving Suggestions

It really is the perfect gin for a martini…dirty it up with a bit of citrus peel or take your negroni to the next level but you may just want to pour it over ice and curl up in front of the fire.

 

Australian Distilling Co. – Adelaide Gin

The beautiful richness of Kangaroo Island lavender gives Adelaide Gin a subtle and delicate lavender profile. While floral in nature, the flavour profile is built up with a traditional range of spices, including juniper, orris root, coriander and cardamom. The result is a truly unique spirit enhanced by the flavours of South Australia.

Serving Suggestions

Those who prefer to mix their gin should serve it with something that compliments the floral nature, such as a light tonic with a sliver of orange. As an alternative, Elderflower tonic makes a lovely pairing.

 

Happenstance, Fiesta Gin

A punch of juniper is cut by the vivid perfume of kaffir lime and soft chamomile. Star anise pairs with a tingle of chilli that resonates on the tongue and leaves a lingering warmth to accompany the juniper that dances there.

Serving Suggestions

Bright and summery, Fiesta Gin pairs with tonic or soda for a lively summer tipple.

 

Imbue, The Journey

Crisp, juicy apple is layered over woody juniper, finishing with a sweet spiciness from the native muntries—a prolific white flowering shrub with red/green berries.
