Archie Rose Harvest Series Mountain Yuzu Gin (700ml)

Part of the distillery's 'Harvest series', this time shining a light on the vivid aromatics of mountain-grown yuzu. The fruit is cultivated by growers, Jane and Brian Casey, on rich volcanic soils near Mt Buffalo, in the Ovens River region. This rare, cool-climate citrus brings vibrant notes of mandarin, lime and bergamot to a gin that is crystalline, elegant and deeply expressive of its high-country terroir. 40% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producers... Nose: Opens with the unmistakable, complex and rich scent of fresh yuzu peel, expressed here with the complex interplay of ripe mandarin, Meyer lemon zest, makrut lime and fresh grapefruit. The citrus is supported by a peppery juniper, which provides pine, fresh basil and thyme stalks. Palate: The palate has an abundance of fresh citrus (ripe orange, lemon and mandarin peel) which is given a bold intensity by juniper's fresh pine and black pepper. Finish: The finish is long with the myriad of citrus flavours wrestling with the juniper all the way to the persistent fade.
