So you found our Gin Flight…

Welcome to our Gin Flight walk-through. We have designed this page to bring more knowledge and enjoyment when trying our Gin Flight.

The Rundown...

Whether this is your first gin flight, or not, we can all agree there is a system in which a gin flight is carried out to ensure you get the most out of the gin experience.

And that is as follows:

Neat

If you’re game, try out gins neat before altering them to understand how they change throughout this process.

Chill

Add in your ice, allow your gin to chill down, and give it another taste. You will be surprised by the hidden flavours that come through when the ice calms down the ethanol.

Add Flair

Add in your desired garnish and watch as your gin changes shape …

Bubbles

Finally, pour in your bubbles to add a bit of sparkle to your gin drink.

WATERING HOLE (DRY) GIN

With bursts of citrus, fiery pepper, warming ginger and the sultry tease of lime, Watering Hole Dry Gin will have you tickled with pleasure. Rather than packing a punch, our Watering Hole Dry Gin rolls along the palate with a pleasing heat, creating a soft, smooth finish.

Have a bit of fun and pair our Watering Hole Dry Gin with garnishes such as lime, apple or dried capsicum to create the perfect gin and tonic.

Somewhat dry, but never sweet, our Watering Hole Dry Gin is a good starting point for those wanting to expand their Gin Experience.

BUSH CHOOK (PINK) GIN

Booming with floral intrigue, our Bush Chook Pink Gin will entice your senses with notes of jasmine, maraschino cherry and mandarin, leaving you with a lasting sensory impression of musk, peach and raspberry.

Naturally sweetened by the large quantity of fruits used during the infusion stage, our Pink Gin brings a warm and well-rounded depth to the palate.

Increase your gin and tonic experience by pairing our Bush Chook Pink Gin with garnishes such as raspberry, nectarine, pepper and cherry.

Recommended for the discerning Gin Enthusiast!

BOARD MEETING (CITRUS) GIN

Packed to the max with botanicals that fill the nose with sweet and spicy intrigue, while coating the palate with hints of orange, cinnamon and all things delightful, our Board Meeting Citrus Gin enchants the palate with a pleasant roller-coaster of flavours.

If feeling adventurous, try experimenting with a variety of spice and citrus garnishes with our Board Meeting Gin to see how the flavour profile changes as different botanicals shine through.

For the Gin Connoisseur with an Adventurous Spirit!
