Ink Gin 70cl
Husk Distillers
Ink Gin
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.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Elderflower, lemon and just a hint of juniper. Perhaps some almond nuttiness too...
Palate
Peppercorn and cardamom give it a spicy opening, with rounded notes of orange balancing it all out.
Finish
Liquorice, thyme and continued citrus sweetness.
