No. 5 in Applewood’s series: If spice and green is your thing - Gin of Wrath will be your jam!

Applewood explain, ”We pulled out the big guns when it came to crafting this recipe. First cab off the rank? Bird's Eye Chillies locally grown in the Riverland for that uplifting, sharp aromatic effect...then we balanced that out with a handful of Chipotle Tipico courtesy of our mates down at Chilli Mojo - but we weren't done yet.

"Next up was a large bottle of Sriracha - the whole thing of course...and the pièce de résistance? We got in touch with the kind folks down at Shima Wasabi for some Tasmanian-grown, fresh Wasabi root!

"No Applewood recipe would be without some native-Aussie love either...and playing on the theme that lime and pepper go well with chilli - we decided to throw in a bunch of Fingerlimes and Pepperberries whilst we were at it! A handful of Macadamia and Black Cardamom later...and we're most of the way there...to finish it up - a much-welcome quadruple-hit of Juniper for a piney-resinous balance."  Very limited stocks.

Tasting note: Evocative of sweet chillie sauce with a striking, pure jalapeno lift to the bouquet over emerging coriander, juniper and background citrus. The convincing chillie edge carries through to the palate, but it’s not overdone - neither is the heat. Coriander and finally hints of juniper in the finish. First ever chillie infused gin? 43% Alc./Vol.
