This is a gin to celebrate our fire-fighting heroes. As bushfires threatened the Swan Valley and our distillery last month, there was nothing for us to do but batten down the hatches and keep a watchful eye on the winds – from a safe distance! Thanks to the amazing work of our emergency services we were able to return safely to create a 57.7% navy-strength gin. This feisty tribute incorporates smoke-affected grapes from the Swan Valley and comes with a fiery name to match.
ABV: 57.7%

Juniper, Coriander, Orris, Licorice, Lemongrass, Lavender, Butterfly Pea, Smoked Affected Grapes , Black Tea.

Tim

Pot
Fun Fact:
This gin was intentionally a bit of a middle finger to pink gins. Because, fun fact, when you distil botanicals (including those ‘pink coloured’ fruits), the liquid doesn’t actually take on the colour. So there’s only one way those pink gins are made pink...
