Four Pillars Modern Australian Gin
Four Pillars Gin worked with the QANTAS Rockpool mixology team to create the second release in their Bartender Series - an Asian-inspired Modern Australian gin with softness and spice, one that is truly a spirit of Australia. Red and green Szechuan give it a lovely warm mouthfeel, while the macadamia nuts give it softness and an almost creamy palate. The fresh Rose Glow apples, fresh tangelos, fresh grapefruit peel and dry native quandong add fruit and lift. Rockpools bartenders were aiming for a gin with nice spicy complexity and mixability something to create a great G&T, or classic dry martini. Plus, with all that spice it also makes a spot-on Red Snapper, so next time you feel like a better Bloody Mary try one with Four Pillars Modern Australian Gin instead.

Ancient Wisdom Barrel Aged Gin
REFRESHING CITRUS WITH EARTHY FOREST FLOOR AROMATICSA rich, balanced palate displaying citrus and juniper Berry aromas with earthy undertones and a hint of cigar leaf. The crispy citrus backbone is well balanced by a touch of honey. Rounded Oak tannins from barrel aging combine to give the gin its structure and whilst maintaining generosity and lingering finish. Ancient Wisdom barrel-aged Gin is the provocative union of over a dozen exotic botanicals, meticulously sourced from around the world that ravish your palate and restore the soul.Some of our locally sourced botanicals undergo a special cold barrel fermentation treatment, developed in-house before undergoing a time-honored distillation and brewing process. This special technique retains the refined phenolics and raw aromatics leading to a smooth, succulent finish.Distilled botanicals are then aged in 4-year-old x-Chardonnay Barrels for several months for added texture and to advance the integration of oak tannins with herbal phenolics.With a hand on heart, I can say that this is an exceptional drop. Combining the very best Australian Botanicals have to offer, we have created the ultimate Gin. This, my friends, is the result. Enjoy the best of both worlds. Ash Tosh Winemaker & Master Blender

Anther Spirits Florescence Gin
Florescence Gin is a collaboration between Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria and Anther Spirits. This boutique gin contains plants foraged from Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. Proceeds from the sale support Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria’s important landscapes, research and innovative public programs. FLORESCENCE GIN is hand made at Anther Distillery. Florescence according to the Oxford Dictionary means “the process of flowering” or “the process of developing richly and fully”. All Florescence ingredients are currently growing at both Gardens sites, Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne and Royal Botanic Gardens Cranbourne, which are home to thousands of plant species: there are 8,500 at Melbourne and 1,700 native Australian plant varieties in the Australian Garden at Cranbourne. This includes traditional ingredients such as Juniper, Coriander Seeds, Orange and Lemon peel, but also includes unique selections of native Australian plants such as Tasmannia xerophila (Alpine pepper), Kunzea parvifolia (Violet Kunzea), Baeckea gunniana (Alpine Baeckea) and more. One ingredient, Tasmannia xerophila is a common shrub of the alpine zone and an ancient native woody plant in Victoria. The leaves and berries are aromatic but have a little heat that takes a little while to hit the palate. Another, Kunzea parvifolia is fairly widespread in Victoria. In spring its mauve bottlebrush-like flowers can light up its environment with a purple haze. Tim Entwisle, Director and Chief Executive, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria says, “I have personally taste-tested and approved of this gin. It has a fantastic aroma and a unique and charismatic flavour. We hope that you enjoy it!”
