— Star anise makes this special
What sets this apart is the star anise working alongside that pepperberry tingle. The nose is incredible — bold juniper with cinnamon and citrus peel. At 41.8% it's got enough weight to stand up in a G&T without being overpowering.

— Complex and warming
Every sip reveals something new. The coriander and cardamom on the palate give way to that long, warming finish with Tasmanian pepperberry. The cinnamon spice lingers beautifully. One of Australia's finest.

— Bold flavours done right
Love the way the lavender tempers the pepperberry heat. The juniper authority is always present but never overwhelming. A Contemporary gin that truly earns its reputation.
