Dark Series Med Gin
A delicious, contemporary gin inspired by the Mediterranean. Med Gin features Kalamata olive brine, almonds, thyme, basil, and native coastal daisy bush, all sourced from our home in the McLaren Vale region.
A Bit About...
Much like the local geology in our McLaren Vale home, this gin has layers.
Creamy marzipan, citrus and olive oils create a silky & luscious palate. This is balanced with a wave of mouthwatering saline from the olive brine and the considered inclusion of locally grown thyme, bay leaf and basil.
While this profile leans towards a savoury expression, orange and foraged sea daisies lend a splash of freshness, complementing the dry finish.
We’ve sourced Somerton almonds from Taronga, Lloyd Brothers Kalamata olives and McMillian and Drew herbs which include lemon thyme, thyme, bay leaf and basil. Not to mention locally foraged Oleria Axillaris, known commonly as the coastal daisy bush.
All these ingredients are sourced from the local region and create a gin that is distinctly Mediterranean in both flavour and function.
Tasting Notes
Smell |
A heavy combination of sea spray, fresh herbs, kalamata olive/olive flesh and lightly dried florals. Reminisce of coastal breezes on a warm summer evening. Pine tree and cooking spice linger in the background setting the stage for our most complex gin yet. |
