"If it was not for the High Court of Australia ruling in relation to section 44 of the Constitution, this unique Tasmanian gin may never have been crafted."

A contemporary Tasmanian gin with bright and bold citrus notes, stemming from its showcasing of the Australian native botanical, Lemon Myrtle.

The beautiful lemon myrtle infused into this gin provides the aroma and flavour profiles, which change and develop throughout the intial taste, the mid-palate and the finish.

Botanicals: Juniper berries, coriander, lemon myrtle, pepperberry

Tasting notes:

• Nose: Bright citrus top notes alongside green pine, with a hint of liquorice
• Palate: Initial bold lemon citrus and spicy undertones with a lovely rounded and slightly silky mouthfeel. The citrus notes evolve into a lemon sherbet on the mid palate, with sweet pepper developing
• Finish: a long silky finish with more citrus and sweet spice

Serving suggestions:

• Neat: enjoy neat over a large piece of ice; swirl to chill – and enjoy!
• Mixed: equally good with tonic or soda, or better yet try a Section 44 Gin & Sonic (1 part gin, 1 part soda, 1 part tonic). Best served naked (ie no garnish). Feel free to dial up the soda and tonic to between 1-2 parts each if you want to adjust to your taste
• Cocktail: We suggest an All-Australian Negroni: equal parts of Section 44 Gin, Maidenii Sweet Vermouth and Adelaide Hills Distillery’s Bitter Orange

About Pattex Distillery: Pattex Distillery can trace its origins to a landmark ruling by the High Court of Australia in 2017, focussed on section 44 of the Constitution. 15 politicians from both sides of politics were caught up in a constitutional crisis ultimately requiring them to leave parliament due to the lands of their parents’ birth, and in some cases the quicks of other countries' changeable citizenship laws. Among them was former whip and then President of the Senate, the Hon Stephen Parry. Had that not event not occurred in 2017, Stephen and Andrew Patten would not have ended up working together in Andrew’s excavation business, and the two would not have ultimately joined forces with Raj Singh, nor decided to pursue an opportunity to start a whisky distillery.

Raj and Stephen undertook a distiller's course and together with Andrew, launched a new distillery in Cambridge, near Hobart; building the infrastructure to suit the stills and vats imported from Portugal and Germany.

Pattex Distillery has a whisky focus as a key part of its set up, with some fine Tasmanian whisky quietly maturing in barrels. In the intervening years, their first spirit offering is Section 44 Gin – its name an homage to the events that eventually lead to their business, their distillery, and their first gin.
