  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.

  "A near-perfect classic style gin... pretty much as good as it gets." 5/5 - theginisin.com

  Established in 2009, Sipsmith boast to being the first copper-pot based distillery to start up in London in 189 years. One of only four gin distilleries located within the city limits, it's situated on a residential street in West London on the site of a former microbrewery (also the site which later became the office of famous beer hunter and whisky writer, Michael Jackson). Using an English barley mash created off-site, the company employs a German swan-necked copper-pot still which the proprietors named 'Prudence'. She's caricatured on the brand's labels as a stylised pot-still with a swan’s neck and head.

  Sipsmith's London Dry is made using ten botanicals: Macedonian juniper berries, Bulgarian coriander seed, French angelica root, Spanish liquorice root, Italian orris root, Spanish ground almond, Chinese cassia bark, Madagascan cinnamon, Sevillian orange peel and Spanish lemon peel. If the botanicals seem rather commonplace by contemporary gin standards, the company vouches for their freshness, which is an often underestimated factor in gin production. Quite simply, the fresher the ingredients, the more potent the flavour infusion will be. Companies producing gin on a grand scale, such as Beefeater or Gordon’s simply can’t secure the quantities of botanicals required in fresh form for year round production. Water purity is also considered key. Batches are made 400 bottles at a time.

  Geraldine Coates, who has written books about gin and runs the website ‘Gintime’, also considers the size and flexibility of new micro-distilleries like Sipsmith to be their real point of interest."It means they are producing the equivalent to caviar as opposed to tuna fish," she explains.

  With its fairly classic London Dry botanical bill, Sipsmith's taste is predictable yet satisfying. The nose offers a restrained elegance - fresh juniper is the initial focus followed by hints of citrus peel, lavender and rosemary. A soft entry leads into a light to medium bodied mid palate that's gently spicy, almost creamy in texture and building in concentration with flavours of juniper and citrus lozenge. The balance is perfect, the finish pristine, persistent and refreshingly dry. Altogether an understated and stylish gin straight-up that also adds a creaminess to G&Ts. Recommended. 41.6% Alc./Vol.

  Other reviews... Made with 10 internationally sourced botanicals—Seville orange peel, Italian orris root, et al.—this gin rings with plenty of juniper and licorice upfront, followed by lavender and citrus peel. Finishes smooth and mellow. 90 points - wineenthusiast.com

  As London Dry gins go, Sipsmith is a quieter, sweeter example. The nose is mild, with the citrus notes easily overwhelming the juniper. The latter is more present on the body, but even there it’s kept in check by cinnamon sugar, some woody root notes, and, surprisingly, those almonds. The finish is more sweet than tart, and the spirit drinks far more sedately than its slightly overproof alcohol level would indicate. Worth a try, particularly in more fanciful gin-based cocktails. - drinkhacker.com

  "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.

  Sold Out

  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).

  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. Garnish with dehydrated grapefruit or orange. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Founded on a bedrock of botany, geology and wine industry experience, Dom Wundke's passion-project in distilling draws inspiration from his travels in Europe. It was there that he recognised locale matters, as does a connection to place and the flavours that come from it. His gin is named 'Arafura', after Australia's northern sea, and it uses botanicals from Queensland to Western Australia. Speargrass is one, and there's a small stalk of it in every bottle. Distilled in Darwin's heat, this svelte textured, harmonious blending of rose and rosella (wild hibiscus) comes with a saline-grapefruit twist and a deft injection of cinnamon warmth - juniper stitching it all together. The recipe has drinking in the tropics in mind: Carefree, bright and complex enough to come back to, again and again. Mix it with bundles of ice and a slice of grapefruit, or try Mediterranean tonic to open up the florals. 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.

  A limited run of several hundred bottles, this gin features the intoxicating aroma of orange blossom, hand picked from the Western Plains and married with traditional botanicals as well as native finger lime and lemon myrtle. Recommended with a slice of orange.

  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

  ABV: 40%

  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 a biochemist and holds a Post-Graduate Diploma in Brewing & Distilling from Heriot-Watt University. 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

  Silver medal at the 2013 International Wine & Spirit Competition in London.

  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

  Strange Nature Premium Grape Gin (700ml)

  Marlborough, NEW ZEALAND

  $109. 99

  Bottle

  $1319.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 44%

  A gin not made, but grown - from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, and arguably the most exciting new gin to come out of New Zealand in some time. It all started when the Giesen brothers of Marlborough’s Giesen Wines were trying to strip the alcohol from sauvignon blanc to produce an alcohol-free product. The resulting liquid “was essentially a sauvignon blanc spirit”, says Rhys Julian, the general manager of Strange Nature. He adds, “At that point the wine-makers were discarding it, but we thought there was a really good opportunity to take that by-product and do something with it, because it retains heaps of those really tasty flavours from Marlborough sauvignon blanc." The team added juniper but then cycled through more than a dozen different botanicals trying to find the best combination. They ended up going back to basics, deciding that juniper and sauvignon blanc stand on their own merit. “Sauvignon blanc is really aromatic, it’s got those layers of grapefruit and tropical herbaceous qualities,” says Julian, “and so we settled on just one botanical, juniper, which is quite unusual and quite strange, hence our name, Strange Nature.”

  Just as you'd expect, Strange Nature retains many of the quintessential notes of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc - as the producers describe it: Partly tropical and zesty with hints of fresh pineapple, candied grapefruit and a touch of kaffir lime and blood orange; and part savoury and herbaceous with piney juniper, blackcurrant leaf and fresh green pepper. Our tasting from a 30ml sample found powerful aromas of ripe feijoa, also hinting at passionfruit and nectarine with a light pepper overlay. There's a citrus/tropical fruit interplay on the palate too, evoking grapefruit, lime zest, feijoa, crushed pine buds and hints of papaya seed through the fresh, warming finish. It's a full bodied, vibrant and distinctive gin that when tasted neat, maintains a good balance of juniper against the fruitiness of the grape distillate. Mixing with soda is simple yet effective, although too much dilution tends to over-emphasise the varietal character of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Try loading up a highball glass with ice and a spritz of carbonated water garnished with a lime wedge. For a refreshing alternative, use East Imperial Grapefruit soda. Lovers of G&Ts should enjoy a generous pour over ice, topped off with a premium tonic, a lime wedge and a sprig of rosemary or thyme. 44% Alc./Vol.

  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.

The delightful pink hue is also a contribution from the Lilly Pilly fruit. *Bottle shot indicative only.

  Tasting note: Crystal clear with a pale pink blush. Sweet and perfumed - sort of in the Old Tom style. Pleasing scents of candied citrus peel combine with hints of anise, ginger, coriander, juniper and pine sap. A creamy entry leads into a semi-sweet mid palate featuring citrus peel, hints of juniper and pepper. Concludes drier with a juniper and pepper aftertaste followed by a fairly brisk grapefruit like fade. Disjointed yet quaint. Gets better the more time you take with it. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Tanqueray Rangpur Gin (700ml)

  $779.88 Dozen

  Sold Out

  ABV: 41.3%

  The Rangpur lime is not like the lime you'll find at your local fruit and veggie market. It's a unique fruit that blends attributes of other citrus - in fact it’s believed that Rangpur limes are crosses between lemons and tangerines. Orange coloured, they have the zestiness of ordinary limes but they're as juicy as an orange and look similar to a mandarin. The Rangpur tree itself is native to India, and can fruit year round for up to 40 years (be on the look out for these at nurseries - they're also said to be make beautiful ornamental trees).

  Enter the Tanqueray team who in 2006 decided to produce a new styled Gin with the influence of Rangpur limes. Like all of Tanqueray's gins, it includes the standard Tanq botanicals distilled into the spirit rather than infused. This distinction traps the flavours into the gin in a way that allows them to shine through in a more natural, authentic way that’s impossible with infusions. This time round the results are 'lip-smackingly delicious', and if the blogosphere is any indication, Rangpur is up there with some of the most genuinely exciting Gin innovations of all time.

  Tasting note: Clear. Perfumed aroma offers sweet and citrusy scents with lime and mandarine juice combined with mixed peel. This is no London Dry, with the juniper almost totally eclipsed, becoming apparent only with aeration. The soft entry develops into a gently spicy attack; semi sweet, juicy tangerine & lime flavours are followed by a subtle juniper note on the finish that refreshes and relieves the sweetness. Excellent balance, this gets silkier with every sip. It would make for an intriguing martini moreso than G&Ts. We found it calls for some citrus bitters and demands experimentation. On its own remains undeniably exotic and charming. 41.3% Alc./Vol.

  Tanqueray Old Tom Gin (1000ml)

  Sold Out

  ABV: 47.3%

  A limited edition of 100,000 individually numbered bottles, this is a revived and personal rendition from Tanqueray's Master Distiller, Tom Nichol, based on an original recipe from Charles Tanqueray's private records. The precursor ceased production in 1921. The packaging harks back to the original.

  Due to the modern day resurgence of this genre, many will be aware that the "Old Tom" style refers to a fuller, richer and slightly sweeter kind of gin that was once one of the most widely available spirits stocked in Victorian-era bars in both England and the U.S.

  To make this contemporary version, Tanqueray employ neutral grain spirit, re-distilled with Tuscan juniper, angelica root, coriander and licorice in their fittingly named 'Old Tom' No. 4 copper pot still (so called because it comes from the only Tanqueray facility to survive the Blitz). Some unaged wheat spirit is then blended in along with a small amount of sweetener (made with beet sugar), and water reducing it to 94.6 proof.

  So many super enthusiastic reports on this have us more than tempted to open a bottle, but with this extremely limited shipment, we're going to give first pick of the cherry to customers. Enjoy!
