Wild Gin

Wild Gin

This small batch Australian gin is distilled with "native juniper" which has been foraged from the wild coast of Kangaroo Island. Fashioned in the style of a London Dry Gin, this contemporary expression is finished with fresh limes from the nearby Fleurieu Peninsular. Traditional vapour distilling maximises control of the quality of this award-winning Australian spirit and has led to the Gold Medal at the Melbourne International Spirits Competition in July 2017 and the 2018 SIP Consumer Choice Gold Medal.
