About Sunshine & Sons Original Dry Gin (700 ml)

Country of origin:   Australia                                  Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 43%                               Bottle size: 700 ml

Sunshine & Sons Original Dry Gin is subtle, perfectly balanced and -- unlike most other Dry Gins -- the distiller’s suggestion is not to use a garnish because this gin stands so well-balanced and with no need for flavour accompaniments.

Pot-distilled in the Sunshine coast hinterland rainforest with a carefully curated mix of native and traditional botanicals, the base spirit is distilled from the very best Barossa Valley grapes, which results in a smooth purity and roundness on the palate.

All botanicals used during distillation are slowly steeped and steam infused prior to distillation. The result is three interwoven and complimentary congener profiles:

1. A base layer of juniper berries, coriander seed, cinnamon bark, and orris root form a traditional Dry Gin profile subtlety edging towards a modern and contemporary flavour.
2. The mid layer uses citrus acid oil extraction from the lemon peel and orris root to give extra depth and bond each of the congener profiles.
3. The top profile is about pepperberry, pomegranate, lavender and pink rose petals. This group of botanicals dances around the aroma platform. These are what make our Sunshine & Sons Dry Gin pretty. These flavours and aromas stand out and are memorable to the consumer.

Sunshine & Son Original Dry Gin is gluten free.

Botanicals: juniper berries, organic coriander seed, cinnamon, cassia sticks, Tasmanian pepperberry, pomegranate seed powder, organic pink rose petals, rganic lemon peel, lavender flowers, organic oris root.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: lean, lifted, fresh and pretty. Aromas of juniper, scented rose petals and lavender, with soft touches of pomegranate and lemon peel
• Palate: Soft, very textured, silky, soft and almost jelly like structure, powerful intense juniper with floating fusions of lavender and rose petal. Mid and end palate are also alive and very dynamic from the pomegranate notes and pepperberry edges.

• Gin and tonic (no garnish needed)
• Martini
