Hot Winter Gin is a bold, warming liqueur that marries the clarity of our signature gin and vodka base with a carefully balanced infusion of cinnamon, black peppercorn, and chilli. Crafted for Australia's cooler months, this is a spirit designed to be sipped slowly, neat or stirred into a nightcap—a moment of comfort in a glass that builds complexity with every measure.

🍸 How to Enjoy

Best served neat in a small glass at room temperature, or warmed gently and sipped as a digestif. For a winter serve, pour 45ml over a single large ice cube and stir slowly, allowing the spirit to open gradually.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Warm cinnamon and black pepper lead, with bright spice notes that gradually reveal subtle floral gin botanicals beneath. A gentle heat threads through, inviting closer inspection.

Palate

The arrival is smooth and warming, with cinnamon sweetness immediately apparent. Mid-palate brings a creeping chilli warmth and cracked pepper spice that lingers pleasantly, balanced by the clean spirit base and subtle syrup body.

Finish

A persistent, gentle heat that fades gracefully, leaving behind warm spice, faint pepper notes, and a soft, honeyed glow.

From the Still House

A blended liqueur combining equal measures of gin and vodka, infused with whole spices macerated and married with house-made raw sugar syrup. The result is a spirit where warmth and flavour are built through careful balancing rather than aggressive extraction.

Botanical Sources

Cinnamon, black peppercorn, and chilli are selected for their quality and flavour intensity, chosen to complement rather than overpower the native botanical character of our gin base.
