Manly Spirits Co. was established in 2015 and is based near Manly Beach, Australia. This Australian dry gin was one of their first ventures, made with fabulous sustainably foraged Australian botanicals such as sea lettuce, finger lime and mountain pepperberry, alongside some more traditional gin botanicals. Serve with ice and a slice of fresh orange.
Earthy, savoury notes contrast with citrus and juniper, with eucalyptus and a pinch of pepper.
Manly Spirits gin August’s Craft Gin Club offering. The bottle is flipping hellish. It’s light blue clear at the top and embossed at the bottom with a geet big whopping silver stopper. The gin is 43% with a citrus taste initially that turns quite sweet. The Australian gin certainly hits the spot as a ‘get home from work and relax’ tipple. Apparently, it has sea lettuce and finger lime in it’s botanical's. Heck do I know what they are 8 out of 10
This gin is pretty grim. It tastes and smells like cheap aftershave. I think it's an acquired taste and I definitely have not acquired it yet.
Honestly, my knees go weak every time I have a sip! Imagine closing your eyes & tasting the ocean, a fresh seafood picnic while sitting in the sun and all your friends beside you. Then you've got it! I first tried Manly Gin last year & it's completely won me over.
Love this Gin. Well balanced and delicious with some really interesting botanicals in it that are not found in the UK.
