Reviewed July 19, 2018 (edited July 19, 2022)Nose: Soft and uplifting floral notes balanced against juniper and peppery aromas. A little citrus and a touch of licorice. Lemon, pine needles, and spicy fruit. Breathtakingly beautiful, delicate but with character. Palate: Dusky orange citrus arrival with licorice. A rich oily mouthfeel. It develops fresh spicy layers as it unfolds, ending with a backdrop of crisp and tangy juniper. The texture is creamy, rich and blanketing. Finish: Medium. Perfectly balanced juniper, citrus and warm spice right to the end. A wonderful texture and a full flavour without being excessive. Dry, sweet, earthy and fragrant all at once. A rich and creamy, almost oily, texture when taken neat, and stunning in a G&T or cocktail. This special release from the most southern family-run distillery in the world contains hand foraged botanicals from every Australian state, including Kakadu plum, lemon myrtle, strawberry gum, mountain pepperleaf, cinnamon myrtle, celery-top pine, wattleseed, quandong and (of course) juniper. It’s an excellent example of the type of gin coming out of Australia just at the moment but it is nuanced and not overbearing on the palate. Australian gin has exploded into our scene over the last two years, and along with Loch Distiller’s “The Weaver” this is my favourite from the dozens of fine local gins currently available. At the price it is remarkable value and gets my highest recommendation. By the way, if you can't find this in your local liquor store then order it straight from the distillery. The price includes shipping to anywhere in Australia, and makes the value for money stellar. “Outstanding” : 93/100 (5 stars)80.0 AUD per Bottle
