What is Australian Gin?

 Over recent years, we’ve seen lots of Australian gin distilleries open across the country, So, if you’re a craft gin lover, then chances are you’ve come across some Australian premium gin. But what makes Australian gin so unique?

 



 

Although being a little late to the craft gin craze, there are a lot of Australian gins which have started to make a name for themselves, both locally and internationally. In recent years, the number of Australian gin distilleries as swelled, from a humble 10 to over 100 today.

 

This rise in distilleries is not only due to the rising popularity of gin as a spirit, but because of the adventurous nature and bountiful, local ingredients that local distillers have access to. Local distillers pride themselves on experimenting with the vast number of unique botanicals found in Australia.

 

Some of the common notes you’ll find Australian gins include seaweed, pepper berry, lemon myrtle, strawberry gun, orris root, wattle seed, Lilli Pilli, cassia and so much more. This blend of classic Australian flavours in the gin crafts a fantastic contemporary spin on your classic gin taste.

 

Take a Trip Through a Distillery

 

One of the biggest benefits of the growing Australian gin industry is the ability to fully immerse yourself in unique gin experiences. Many distilleries offer bespoke tours and gin masterclasses that help you learn about the process and discover what makes Aussie gin so unique.

 

Of course, you can take these tours while sampling some of the finest local gin to find which flavour profiles might be your favourite.

 

Pairing Local Gin with Food

 

Another benefit of having gins infused with local flavours is the many food pairing opportunities. We have such a beautiful array of local cuisines and dishes that are only compliment by the complex flavours of Australian gin.

 

Citrus-infused gins paired fantastically with seafood dishes. Juniper-heavy or berry-heavy gins go well with smoked meats.

 

The beauty is there is so much room to experiment.
