Distilled with 14 botanicals, the majority being traditional gin botanicals (juniper, coriander, angelica root, orris root, cardamom, cassia bark, liquorice root, ginger, orange) and the rest being distinctly Australian botanicals (Blood Lime, Dorrigo Pepperleaf, Lemon Myrtle and River Mint).

Each botanical is distilled separately utilising three different methods in the same custom-built still:
1. Steep and boil.
2. Hot vapour infusion (botanicals are placed in a basket over the boiling alcohol within the still)
3. Cool vapour infusion (botanicals are placed in a chamber in the still's Lyne arm)

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 17/09/2020

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Piney juniper, lemon balm, lime zest and peppery spice with pavement after rain minerality.

Taste:

Clean. More piney juniper, lemon verbena, lime peel and nutty balsa wood with fresh minty notes and enlivening black pepper spice.

Aftertaste:

Piney juniper and citrus freshness continue to dominate with attractive nutty angelica root.

Overall:

London dry gin in style but with botanicals that distinguish it as an "Australian dry gin." Archie Rose signature is piney juniper-led with citrus notes to the fore and an attractive rounding woody nuttiness.
