Australian Gin has become the next big thing in the list if things to drink for the cool kids. How did this quintessentially British drink rise to the top for Aussie drinkers?
Australia has some amazing flavors that come from the bush, distillers found that infusing these into gin would create really interesting and diverse tastes to their products. Then the cocktail mixologists got their hands on it...
The other thing done well, that has brought gin into the forefront, is the amazing cellar doors that have opened all across the country. In SA there are a lot of places to try gin. Applewood Distillers in the Adelaide Hills is a great spot to finish your day tasting their native flavoured gins. Never Never in McLaren Vale sits high on a hill with breathtaking views over the vale and an amazing lawn to let the kids run free while tasting. In the Barossa you will find Seppeltsfield Road Distillers sitting on the side of a hill with deck upon deck and then the bar in a shipping container at the top. These are just a few of the many locations around that showcase how interesting and diverse the tastes and cellars of the gin industry have become.
