The West Winds The Sabre Gin
The West Winds Gin story began back in 2009 when two mates (James Clarke and Paul 'The Doctor' White) hatched a plan to create unique styles of Australian gin using local and imported botanicals that would be cut with triple filtered Margaret River rain water. Within a month of launching, The West Winds had already made a strong impression on the gin world, winning numerous accolades at the 2011 San Francisco International Spirit Awards. 'The Sabre' - a Gold medal winner from said awards - presents a traditional British style gin led by underlying citrus and a dominance of juniper, followed by the classic coriander seed. The addition of wattle seed adds a depth to the mid palate and introduces a creamy texture without the need for artificial additions. Best served with lemon and tonic or fresh watermelon juice.
Four Pillars Navy Strength Gin
Four Pillars Navy Strength is a gin very much in the style of the Rare Dry Gin but with the volume turned up slightly beyond 11. At 58.8% ABV the gin can support some more robust and interesting botanicals, so there are three new botanicals that are both new (and fresh), including fresh turmeric and ginger. Together they have heightened the spiciness of the gin, and the turmeric in particular has added weight and a lovely earthiness to the palate. Also in the botanical basket about half the normal oranges have been replaced with some explosive native finger limes, grown in Byron Bay. They have an intensity of flavour and acid that is almost impossible to believe, and in the basket they help the gin attain super citrus notes and lovely high-toned freshness.
