The Antipodes Australian Organic Pink Gin (700ml)

Volume: 700ml         ABV: 45%           Age: No Age Statement           Country: Australia

Australia’s first certified organic pink gin. Kakadu plum, olida, blue chamomile flowers and ruby red grapefruit gather together with a complex selection of native and exotic botanicals.

Having a point of difference is vital for any product, and along comes a brand new gin from South Australia that stands distinct in the crowded Australian craft gin scene. Antipodes Gin is the brain child of Shane Reid and Rory Gration and is Australia’s first certified organic and carbon neutral gin.

With Australian craft spirits still only making up less than 5% of the spirits consumed in Oz, we’re talking a niche within a niche.

Overall the language of Australian gin to date has been about the place where its from, the personalities (usually a one or two man operation) and the botanicals chosen to make it distinct to its place and country, particularly when natives are used.

Shane and Rory have kept the look + feel deceptively simple… a minimalist website and a facebook page with some lovely shots taken by Shane, who’s a photographer by profession.

Produced in South Australia, which is seeing its own growth in several new + pending gin makers this year, but both Rory + Shane grew up in Australia’s citrus growing region, Sunraysia, and wanted a gin that reflected something of the country they knew.

Tasting Notes

Beautifully balanced, Antipodes Pink Gin has been infused with Kakadu Plums to give it a new level of citrus dimension, Strawberry Gum – Olida for an extra berry burst.  Ruby red grapefruit and pepper berries adds another layer of complexity and some luscious pink tang.
