Originally from the West Perth based Hippocampus Distillery (launched in 2015), but now based in Melbourne and distilled by Boatrocker Brewers & Distillers and made in small batches, with 10 undisclosed botanicals in the mix, macerated overnight then distilled in a copper pot still. Tasting note: [Batch 9 tasted] Crystal clear. Spicy and fresh aromas of juniper, cardamom and cinnamon in the first pass with air contact emphasising lemon gelato, mineral and mandarine peel. Quite concentrated for the ABV with a lean, peppery juniper entry, followed by flavours of coriander seed, citrus peel and a warming spirit finish. Aftertaste of white pepper and juniper shows excellent staying power. 41.5% Alc./Vol.

A limited release seasonal Gin, inspired by the Marrickville team’s favourite cocktail. This is a juniper-forward Gin (not a Gin liqueur), with tropical botanicals including coconut, pineapple, pandan leaf, lime, nutmeg and allspice. On the nose, there’s a nice kick of juniper with an underlying tone of caramelized pineapple and vanilla. Toasted coconut and hints of sea-spray and citrus add freshness. When sipped, the oily consistency coats the palate with silky coconut flavours contrasted by lime peel bitterness and fresh grassy notes. For serving, this sits well in a Martini or a Southside, but it’s just made for fruit juice - or take the distillery’s advice and make their version of a Piña Colada, with fresh-squeezed pineapple, a splash of coconut cream, a touch of sugar, squeeze of lime and bitters, served simply on the rocks. 5000 bottles produced. 42% Alc./Vol.

On the nose vibrant strawberry gum and sherbet with a rich and velvet plum jam, raspberry sorbet palate. Great with a splash of soda.

Cool nights and sweltering days, typical of the region, produce the perfect growing conditions. Juicy, loud, and playful - they are paired with Riverland lemons and mandarins for citrus contrast and depth.

McLaren Vale’s Mediterranean style climate provides vignerons the perfect conditions for low acid, full bodied fruit. Textured and lifted, with notes of violets, elderflower, raspberries and a distinct piney juniper backbone, the perfect integration of gin botanicals and grape maceration.

Diviners Distillery Apparition is a small batch, cold distilled, Australian produced gin. Aromas of finger lime, woody spice, and echos of pine forest flow across the nose.

Enjoy this gin as a classic G&T, Martini or straight up and ease into your evening.
