    McLaren Vale, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
    $89. 99
    Bottle
    $1079.88 Dozen
    ABV: 43%
    The Yuzu fruit is a cross between a mandarin, a grapefruit and a lemon with a very oily and aromatic skin. Its roots are in Japan where it's almost the national fruit. This gin was made from Australia’s first commercial crop of the Yuzu. It has intoxicating aromatics and a racy acidity with citrus overtones.

    Tasting note: Clear. Bright and zesty aromas of orange sherbet, orange peel / pith and citrus oils over mild juniper. A lively style with tangy citrus flavours and late juniper freshness. Lingering citrus oils through the aftertaste. Delicious! 43% Alc./Vol.

    Bottle
    $1019.88 Dozen
    ABV: 43%
    Tasting note: Viscous topaz appearance. A fascinating amalgam of potpourri (thyme, lavender), muesli, dilute honey and orange marmalade. Semi-sweet with up front honey and lemon. Juicy mouthfeel. Finish ups the herbal notes being slightly drier than the mid palate stage. Like a gin-based hot toddy, only the juniper is practically indiscernible. 43% Alc./Vol.

    ABV: 43%
    A small batch gin using bright, beautiful pomegranates infused with vanilla pods adding slight sweetness and extra texture.

    Tasting note: A relatively dry nose feel. Perhaps more juniper and herb coming through than fruit, with hints of curry leaf, pine needle and vanilla. Hard to distinguish. Some tasters picked up Feijoa. Creamy with a texture like a fruit sorbet or gelato. Piney cool-mint like finish. Lovely tang and purity, but the pomegranate is lost. 43% Alc./Vol.

    Tasting note: [BATCH 1501] Clear with a silvery blush.

A light, creamy entry preludes a vibrantly spicy, nicely poised fresh citrus / pine needle mid palate with juicy lemonade gelato on the finish; concludes peppery, super fresh, piney, dry and long. A well crafted and approachable nouveau style.43% Alc./Vol.

    ABV: 43%
    A triple distilled, small batch gin made from grape spirit and local botanicals including native cranberry and saltbush. The brand pays homage to the region's first settlers. The producer's aim for this expression was to add structure to the gin without reducing the clarity of the botanicals.

    Tasting note: [BATCH 1401] Bright gold. Initial inspection conjures a curious medley of baked citrus, potpourri and rose-scented furniture wax. Light to medium bodied with subtle juniper and pine needle-like flavours and hints of peppermint and liquorice in the finish. Relaxed in the mouth with time in barrel muting the spices. The gin character is retained, though even less time in oak might be desirable? 43% Alc./Vol.

    Silent Pool Gin (500ml)
    UNITED KINGDOM
    Reduced from $79.99
    $64. 99
    Bottle
    $779.88 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    Established in 2014 as a sustainable project, Silent Pool Distillery is named after a nearby natural spring lake which is also the distillery's water source. Located in the southeast of England in the Surrey Hills countryside and produced entirely on site by Cory Mason, the gin employs 24 botanicals including lavender, chamomile, citrus, kaffir lime, local honey and juniper.

    Unlike many other gins, Silent Pool is distilled using a column still. Mason comments, "Through precise control over a series of plates and cooling pipes, we are able to separate the exact flavour we want from each botanical that we use. In this way, we can break down the botanical, and capture only the section of it that we want to use in our gin.

    The operation is run on a reclaimed wood-fired steam boiler from the 1970s, previously used to power a crane on Liverpool docks. Sustainable hardwood is sourced from the local Albury forest and gives the whole operation a very low carbon footprint as well as truly local credentials.

    Tasting note Medium intense, peppery whiffs building with fresh juniper, lemon/lime peel, lavender and chamomile tea. Very piney on entry, with lemon and lime accented through the middle. Finish is drying, with lively spices and gentle cinnamon warmth. Ends pure, fresh and mildly sappy with pine and lavender lingering in the aftertaste. A well balanced sipper for elegant Martinis. 43% Alc./Vol.

    Sipsmith V.J.O.P. Gin (700ml)
    London, UNITED KINGDOM
    $139. 99
    Bottle
    $1679.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57.7%

    V.J.O.P. (which stands for "Very Junipery Over Proof") is Sipsmith's pedal-to-the-metal London Dry expression. In their own words: "Imagining the botanicals as components in an orchestra, here we have taken the lead instrument, juniper, and amplified its presence in the ensemble, and then raised the decibels by increasing the proof alcohol. The result is our very own symphony in 'J' major."

    Tasting note: [BATCH 1 tasted] Crystal clear, brilliant appearance. Opens with densely packed juniper, citrus zest, pepper and marshmallow notes gaining extra definition as the initial prickly whiffs blow off. Several minutes aeration accents piney, woody notes and settles the alcohol. A creamy entry leads into an intense pine and juniper attack followed by a controlled peppery surge; drier in the aftertaste which highlights pine needle, potpourri and hints of orange peel. Freshness, power and length are combined with terrific effect - not to mention the balance at high strength which is quite remarkable. Reserve this for your next Martini.

    "One of the most intriguing spirits I have come across ...at the herbaceous/savoury end of the gin spectrum, with the umami flavours of the seaweed balancing well with soft, piney juniper notes." - theginqueen.com

    Seaweed as a gin botanical is becoming more common. Scotland's Isle of Harris and Australia's own Manly Spirits are two notable examples of recent times, but both employ just one variety. Now there's a gin that takes the maritime theme to another level, using five varieties of seaweed. That gin is An Dúlamán, named after an Irish folk song about two seaweed harvesters. The coast around Sliabh Liag on the West coast of Ireland holds an extraordinary bounty for such foragers, assuming they have the knowledge of where and how to harvest these natural products of the ocean.

    Distillers, James and Moira Doherty find each sea plant brings something specific to their gin's profile: Channel Wrack adds firmness, Sugar Kelp gives sweetness and Dulse spikes the blend with its savoury saltiness. Pepper Dulse is the most elusive local seaweed and yields a distinctive spicy, umami note. As this amazing plant thrives at the very edge of the shoreline hidden among rocks, it can only be harvested on a full moon when the tides withdraw. Then there's Carrageen Moss that provides a delicately nutty sweetness. Each seaweed is prepared separately, and the gin is distilled using the standard London Dry method, save for the vapour infused Carrageen Moss.

    Bottled at 43.2%, Sliabh Liag's Forsyth-designed still likes a low ABV in the pot, running a narrow temperature band to manage the delicate seaweeds. To top it off, the distillers take a super narrow cut of only the purest spirit. The result is a perfectly balanced coastal gin that noticeably wears its Donegal origins on its sleeve. Each bottle is wax sealed and marked with a batch number linked to the lunar phases on a dark 500ml bottle, reminiscent of the glass vessels found along the Donegal shore during the wrecking of the Spanish Armada.

    Tasting An Dulaman reveals aromas of ocean air and gentle cassia spice, and a palate with bright, soft juniper to the fore, fading slowly to reveal brisk salt, chestnut and oyster hints, and a buttery, smooth, umami-rich texture. Then there's some exotic, sweet Turkish delight notes on the clean finish. As a base, it works superbly with premium tonic water, lemon tonic or bitter lemon. Classic gin cocktails are a no brainer. It also makes a mighty Martini with a good splash of vermouth.

    Sloanes Original Dry Gin (700ml)
    NETHERLANDS
    $54. 99

    $659.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%
    In the 2011 San Francisco World Spirit Competition Sloane’s premium Dry Gin was awarded the highest accolade of World’s Best Gin, Best White Spirit in addition to a Double Gold Medal.

    The gin is named after the 18th century botanist, Sir Hans Sloane, who is said to have discovered many of the plants used to flavour gins today.
    With only the ‘heart’ of the distillate being used to extract the purest flavours, Juniper, Angelica, Cassia bark, Cardamon Pods, Coriander Seeds, Iris Root, Lemon, Orange, Liquorice Root and Vanilla Pod are all individually distilled. They're then carefully blended together one at a time. Distilling each of the botanicals is a little unusual, although not unique with Leopold’s Gin and Sacred Gin being a few others who do the same.

    Sloanes is distilled in Holland by Toorank Distilleries, one of the fastest growing Dutch distilleries currently operating. The gin was also awarded Silver Medal ‘Best in Class’ in the prestigious International Wine and Spirit Competition 2010 (ISWC).

    Bottle
    $1320.00 Dozen
    ABV: 40%
    This chardonnay macerated gin has been aged in a Voyager Estate MJW Chardonnay barrel and infused with a unique blend of botanicals from Margaret River. Whole bunches of freshly picked Chardonnay grapes from Voyager Estate have been macerated for three months in a Juniper spirit, before being blended with individual distillations of Christmas Tree flower, Geraldton Wax, Red Samphire, Finger Lime and Coriander.

    This is the first time Christmas Tree flower been used in a spirit. This ancient bush tucker, which is endemic to the southern parts of Western Australia, has an enticing earthy and honeysuckle undertone. The Geraldton Wax imparts a liveliness with fresh forest aroma that develops with lemongrass and citrus, while there's a warming saltiness from the Red Samphire. The final maturation in a French oak barrique contributes a golden hue.

    Hand bottled as a run of 350 bottles, this textural gin tastes like Christmas captured in a bottle. It has a complex and feminine bouquet, with vanilla bean and floral notes reminiscent of a Summer’s day. A honeysuckle sweetness, delicate citrus and fresh forest accents linger on the palate, with a warming saltiness and a velvety mouthfeel. Best enjoyed over ice, as a martini, or with a tonic mixer.

Glides to the finish, concluding fresh, mildly peppery, herbal, piney with hints of liquorice late in the fade. Dangerously drinkable at this high abv, but also marries beautifully with tonic.

    St. Laurent Vieux Gin (700ml)
    CANADA
    $99. 99
    Bottle
    $1199.88 Dozen
    ABV: 47%
    Tasting note: This is the distillery's regular gin, aged in ex-whisky casks for over a year, then infused with laminaria seaweed (kombu). The result has a bouquet suggesting green balsa wood, thyme, lemon grass as well as hints of sea breeze, but with a stronger citrus accent in the mouth. In fact, the wood input is slight. Instead, you get flavours of lemon chutney and juniper combined with frail salinity, finishing with a refreshing astringency. Other botanicals include cassia bark, licorice root, lemon peel, bitter orange peel, cubeb berry and grain of paradise. 47% Alc./Vol.

    Stockholms Branneri Navy Dry Gin (500ml)
    SWEDEN
    $89. 99
    Bottle
    $1079.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57%
    Tasting note: Going by Stockholm's standard gin, this higher proof version should be a cracker. It's made with the same seven organic botanicals but promises an extra boost of intensity. Keenly fresh on the nose; coriander seed and white pepper lead with citrus peel, piney juniper and trace rosemary in support. Delivers what the label suggests in a powerful, pepper-laced attack. Flavours of lemon meringue and bold juniper. Vibrant and textural to finish. A very convincing Navy style - matched by slick presentation. 57% Alc./Vol.

    ABV: 40%
    Tasting note: Distilled with long pepper and orange peel and rested in bourbon barrels. The bouquet here is similar to Stockholm's London Dry, only softer with more orange pith and peel. The spiciness is tempered too, with juniper and citrus oils dominating; the botanical freshness maintained right through to the pithy finish. 40% Alc./Vol.

    Stockholms Branneri Dry Gin (500ml)
    SWEDEN
    $74. 99
    Bottle
    $899.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%
    Tasting note: Produced at Stockholm's first craft distillery using organic wheat spirit, this Nordic take on traditional dry gin employs seven botanicals including heather, elderflower and rosemary. On the nose, you get classic London dry keynotes of juniper, coriander seed, white pepper and orange peel as well as hints of curry leaf and liquorice root. The concentration at low ABV is also impressive, starting soft and oily but building into a sweeping fan of coriander seed and pepper warmth. It's momentarily bittersweet before the final stages end piney, fresh and spicy. Obvious Martini potential, otherwise recommended with lemon peel and a sprig of rosemary to emphasise the citrus and herb elements. 40% Alc./Vol.

    ...a simple botanical line up done with impeccable finesse. The mouth goes everywhere at once – from soft summer flowers, to sharp sweet citrus and to snow dusted pine. Incredible.... That such a fantastic tasting gin has come from two absolute newbies is not as surprising as it should be; the Gin community is a welcoming one and Calle and Anna had already soaked up a lot of second hand wisdom before beginning their adventure. Calle is quick to name check sources of wisdom: “In Sweden we received a lot of help from Jon at Hërno, who has been a super partner in our journey. We hope that together we can educate the Swedish consumer that there’s an alternative to the larger established industrial scale brands.” - ginfoundry.com

    Tasting note: [2015 BATCH tasted] Crystal clear. Pepper and mild juniper followed by an interchange of orange blossom / pith / peel. The flower note repeats on the palate alongside flavours of orange cake combined with lemon verbena over background piney/juniper. Finishes peppery with citrus cough lozenge plus hints of flourless orange cake in the aftertaste. A cleverly juxtaposed Spring / Summer treat. 90 points 40% Alc./Vol

    Another award winning Australian Dry Gin hits the market. Like most other recent Australian offerings, Stone Pine is pot distilled in small batches, gently infusing a blend of native and traditional botanicals to create a citrus-driven gin.

    Proprietors, Bev and Ian Glen have their roots in the Scottish brewing and distilling industry. They moved to Australia complete with children and dog in 2006 with the aim of establishing Bathurst’s first microdistillery. Bev, with her background in running various Edinburgh pubs, manages the Cellar Door, while Ian is the distiller.

He is also an Associate Member of the Institute of Brewing & Distilling and has spent his entire career in the malting, brewing and distilling industry.

    Retasted Feb 2017 Expressive aromas of piney juniper, dried herbs and lemon thyme. Air contact maintains the focus on lemon / citrus. Follows through with an attractive, easy-drinking combination of lime and low-key juniper, finishing peppery, warming, medium long. Ups the concentration on the previous batch. Endlessly mixable. 40% Alc./Vol.

    First tasted 2014 Crystal clear. Initially restrained by London Dry standards offering juniper and dried citrus peel in the first pass, becoming more expansive in the second inspection with a definitive citrus focus. A light entry builds into a medium bodied, citrus and coriander accented profile. Good balance. Closes mildly chalky, tangy, peppery and vibrant. Integrates well with tonic. 40% Alc./Vol. 89 points

    Other reviews... Stone Pine has fast become one of my favourite Aussie gins. Pot-distilled in small batches, Stone Pine Gin is firmly rooted in the London Dry style. Unlike many distillers, who readily share information on the botanicals used, the ingredients in Stone Pine Gin are a closely guarded secret. Although I have managed to find out from Ian Glen, the distiller, that the citrus notes of the gin are derived from the distillation of native finger limes. If you haven’t tried these delicious fruits, you’ve missed out. Often described as “citrus caviar”, they are being cultivated commercially and are becoming a key ingredient in many restaurants and bars. On first tasting Stone Pine Gin, citrus is the initial flavour with the sweetness of the limes very noticeable . It then develops into a warmer flavour of increasing intensity and finishes with a slight spiciness. I love it in a martini, either dirty or as it’s served here with a twist. - theginqueen.com

    Notes from the distiller... Produced by Sullivans Cove Distillery, Hobart No. 4 single malt gin harks back to colonial times, when spirits were produced using local ingredients on small pot stills. Hobart No. 4 is produced from the same spirit used to make Sullivans Cove award winning whiskies, lending weight, body and malt character you’ll appreciate from the first sip. As well as traditional juniper, this richly textured gin is flavoured with four native botanicals; Lemon Myrtle, Anise Myrtle, Wattleseed and Tasmanian Pepperberry. Hobart No. 4 is perfect on the rocks with a wedge of pink grapefruit, or in your next classic gin cocktail like an old fashioned or negroni.

    Tasting note: Crystal clear. Mildly peppery lift includes aromas of thyme, sweet oregano, liquorice root and hints of lemon butter. Aeration emphasises the citrus aspect as lemonade alongside mild cardamom. Light piney / junipery entry leads into a smooth, middle weighted profile with dominant liquorice root, light cardamom and vibrant pepper. Ends fresh, herbal and liquorice root-like. 44% Alc./Vol.

We're serious about gin.

Distilleries both small and large from every continent on earth can now lay claim to a Gin. You could be cynical and suggest it's merely to maintain cash flow while more 'serious' barrel aged spirits mature. Gin is easy and cheap. After all, it's just flavoured vodka at the end of the day, right? That line of thinking misrepresents all this spirit can be in the hands of visionaries and fanatics. The freshest botanicals in high quality alcohol result in an exotic amalgam of accents and supporting notes that no white spirit can match. Perfumed complexity and bracing intensity are not the characteristics of every gin we taste - hence, it can't be that easy to achieve. From Navy Strength to organic to sloe gin, browse our range today. A long departure from the once "fuddy-duddy" association of the genre, Vickers, Gordon's and other ubiquitous brands are threatened to be swallowed in a giant yawn by the progressive, quality-savvy new-gin devotee. Trending classifications such as 'New Western' style (juniper evident but not dominant) are gaining prominence as are the use of indigenous botanicals and varied spirit bases, including non-grain. Barrel ageing is also gaining momentum. The vast improvement in quality has resulted in texture rich, neat/sipping friendly spirits. Yet, the traditional English and Dutch styles remain more relevant than ever in honouring the cocktail classics. Learn more today...
