Tasting Notes
Nose
Bright citrus of ruby grapefruit with fresh juniper — delicately balanced with aniseed myrtle and cubeb pepper, tonka bean adding subtle vanilla warmth, inviting and complex
Palate
Silky entry leading into viscous pure profile — creamy orris root, sage and coriander, burst of piney juniper, tonka bean providing vanilla, woody and tobacco-like edge, aniseed myrtle adding Australian herbal character, cubeb pepper warmth
Finish
Subtle aniseed and white pepper — juniper reasserting cleanly, tonka bean warmth lingering, grapefruit citrus fading, long and composed, the kind of finish that keeps you at the Southbank bar
Expert Review
7/10Distilled in Melbourne's Southbank, a short walk from the CBD, in a functioning distillery that doubles as a bar. Ten curated botanicals including the signature tonka bean — adding vanilla, woody and tobacco-like notes — and Australian aniseed myrtle alongside ruby grapefruit, cubeb pepper and classic gin botanicals. Bold, complex and incredibly smooth. A gin designed by people who serve it directly to the public every day.
