Tasting Notes and Food Pairings

Tasting Notes

• Aroma: The gin greets you with a vibrant bouquet of aromatic botanicals. Lemon myrtle introduces a bright, citrusy top note, complemented by the sweet, eucalyptus-like scent of strawberry gum. The earthy nuances of saltbush and the spicy, warm undertones of pepper berries and anise myrtle add complexity and depth.
• Palate: On the palate, Australian Native Gin is both refreshing and rich. The citrusy zest of lemon myrtle and the sweet, slightly fruity notes of strawberry gum lead the way, followed by the unique, savoury taste of saltbush. Pepper berries provide a subtle spice that gradually builds, balanced by the licorice sweetness of anise myrtle. Together, these native botanicals create a harmonious blend of flavours, offering a soft spice palate with lifted floral and herbal notes.
• Finish: The finish is smooth and lingering, with a sophisticated blend of the gin’s botanical ingredients leaving a lasting impression. The herbal and spicy notes taper off gently, inviting another sip.
