Husk Distillers
This organic, small batch, Australian craft gin resulted from distiller Paul Messenger’s experimentations with an exotic flowering legume from Thailand known as the ‘Butterfly Pea’ (Clitoria ternatea) in 2012.
Inspired by its colour changing properties, Messenger spent the next three years creating a recipe that would harmonise a range of botanicals, including the native Australian bush tucker, with the singular flower.
Settling on balanced recipe of 12 botanicals, Ink Gin is placed in a hand-beaten copper pot still at the Husk Plantation Distillery, where it is combined with 100% Australian grain spirit and water from the volcanic rocks of the caldera that originally fell as rain.
Elderflower, lemon and just a hint of juniper. Perhaps some almond nuttiness too...
Peppercorn and cardamom give it a spicy opening, with rounded notes of orange balancing it all out.
Liquorice, thyme and continued citrus sweetness.

It's such a cool combination to have a tasty gin that changes colour. I checked and it's all natural. I learnt about flowers through gin!
Very smooth and refreshing. Enjoying one at this very moment with a splash of mineral water and a slice of lime
My favourite Gin!!
LOVE this Gin. Wish I could buy it in Canada.
Tried this at my 1st social distancing gathering in a friends garden and was sceptical but I was fully converted. It's a lovely fresh gin and that natural colour which changes with tonic gives it the X Factor.
