KANGAROO ISLAND SPIRITS WILD GIN
A small batch Australian gin distilled uniquely with Kangaroo Island native ‘juniper’. Fashioned in the style of a London Dry, this contemporary expression contains fresh limes, mint as well as pink pepper, ginger, mace, cassia, and cardamom. Traditional vapour distilling maximises controlled quality of this award winning Australian spirit.
“Well rated across the judging panel. A classic style with notes of peppermint and lime, it lends itself to all occasions."

MG ORANGE BLOSSOM GIN
Fruity and smooth on the palate with pronounced flavours of sweet oranges, well balanced with the acidity of the citrus fruits and the bitter touch of juniper. The cardamon and coriander notes offers a nice and balanced touch of spice to the citric flavours.
“Smooth with pleasant fruit flavour. Really good all round.”
Stefano Farraiuolo – Spirits Specialist, Dan Murphy's Brighton
