This month’s featured gin is Ink Gin – the original, patented, butterfly pea gin, and one of Australia’s best selling, best loved craft gins. Inspired by the diverse, vibrant rum culture of the Caribbean and a yearning for fine Australian spirits, distillers Paul Messenger and his family embarked on a journey to create a plantation distillery on their cattle and cane farm in NSW.
Ink Gin is a premium dry gin made with 13 organic botanicals, including a mix of traditional and Australian natives. Like all true gins, juniper berries are the largest botanical component, however the defining character of Ink Gin comes from the second tier botanicals led by locally grown lemon myrtle leaf, coriander seed, Tasmanian pepper berry and freshly peeled sundried sweet orange peel.
These major ingredients give Ink Gin its fresh piney, spicy and citrusy aroma and flavour. Post-distillation, the specially prepared petals of the butterfly pea flower are steeped in the still for twenty-four hours to give Ink Gin its distinctive colour.
Don’t forget to keep an eye on our website and social channels throughout the month to see our great range of gin cocktails.
