Komasa Komikan (Mandarin) Japanese Gin
Tasting note: [15ml sample] The main botanical for this gin is one of the world's smallest Satsuma mandarins. At around four centimetres in diameter, the Sakurajima Komikan grows on the soils surrounding the Sakurajima volcano. Steeped in rice shochu before distillation, the resulting pale gold gin has attractive citrus blossom, ripe orange peel and mandarin aromas and oily, medium-dry flavours with a tangy finish suggesting spiced orange cake. Understated juniper makes for an elegant citrus-focused style, perfect for Summer sipping. 40% Alc./Vol.
Isle of Harris Gin
A beautifully designed bottle captures the elemental nature of the Isle of Harris, while its contents reward the discerning gin drinker with maritime pleasures.

Six Dogs Gin Pinotage Stained
Six Dogs Pinotage Stained Gin is the love child of Six Dogs Gin and our neighbours highly prized block of Pinotage grapes. Our gin is distilled in small batches through generous quantities of juniper and fresh citrus. It is then placed in tanks together with handpicked Pinotage grapes to allow the gin to extract the deep red essence. The result? Six Dogs Pinotage Stained Gin. An alchemy between neighbours, friends, nature and of course, six faithful dogs.
Six Dogs Honey Lime Gin
Six Dogs Honey Lime is an irresistible combination of farm honey, home-grown limes and the finest botanical spirit. Sip it and youll taste classic notes of juniper, coriander and the earthy tones of angelica, complemented by a bite of zesty limes and a subtle infusion of honey to soften and sweeten the overall taste. This delectable drink is the result of a sustainability project that began when South African bee conservation company, Bee Smiths, approached Six Dogs Distillery to relocate distressed bees to the farm on which the distillery is situated. Their new home, found on the intersection of the Fynbos and Karoo biomes, proved to be the ideal location for the bees.

Four Pillars Navy Strength Gin
Four Pillars Navy Strength is a gin very much in the style of the Rare Dry Gin but with the volume turned up slightly beyond 11. At 58.8% ABV the gin can support some more robust and interesting botanicals, so there are three new botanicals that are both new (and fresh), including fresh turmeric and ginger. Together they have heightened the spiciness of the gin, and the turmeric in particular has added weight and a lovely earthiness to the palate. Also in the botanical basket about half the normal oranges have been replaced with some explosive native finger limes, grown in Byron Bay. They have an intensity of flavour and acid that is almost impossible to believe, and in the basket they help the gin attain super citrus notes and lovely high-toned freshness.
