Tuscan Gin marries the classical elegance of Mediterranean botanicals with the native brightness of Australian flora. Built on a refined barley rye vodka base, this gin draws inspiration from the herb-scattered hillsides of Tuscany while anchoring itself in lemon myrtle and olive leaf—a distinctly Southern Hemisphere interpretation of a timeless style. The result is a gin of surprising sophistication: herbaceous and grounded, yet lifted by native citrus notes.

🍸 How to Enjoy

Serve over a large ice cube in a crystal G&T glass with premium tonic, a generous twist of fresh lemon peel, and a sprig of fresh rosemary. Alternatively, enjoy neat or with a touch of still water to open up the aromatic complexity.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Juniper and coriander lead, followed by aromatic rosemary, thyme and sage. Lemon myrtle adds a distinctive native lift, while olive leaf brings subtle earthiness and orris root contributes a soft, powdery florality.

Palate

Crisp arrival with prominent juniper and cardamom warmth. The mid-palate reveals layered herb notes—rosemary and thyme—balanced by bright lemon and grapefruit peel. Smooth, rounded texture from the barley rye base, with a gentle spice from bitter almond and cassia root.

Finish

Long and herbal, with lingering juniper and a whisper of bitter almond. The finish is dry and refined, with a subtle citrus persistence that invites another sip.
