Adelaide-based distillery Twenty Third St Distillery has launched its newest gin flavour – Yuzu Gin.
it is exciting news for the distillery with its Not Nanna’s Brandy and Australian Vodka taking out Double Golds at the San Francisco Wine and Spirits Competition earlier this week and with this very Yuzu Gin awarded Bronze in the Distilled Dry Gin (Contemporary) at this month’s International Wine & Spirit Competition.
Each bottle of Yuzu Gin is adorned with custom artwork created by South Australian artist Claire Ishino, inspired by Japanese sunsets blending with the Australian climate and the Riverland Yuzu fruit that flavours the spirit.
Highly fragrant Yuzu and Buddha’s Hand fruit, sourced from a single Riverland orchard, are incorporated whole along with hand-peeled rind from Cara Cara and Blood Oranges in Twenty Third St Distillery’s Copper Pot No. 3.
The profile is rounded out with Juniper, Chamomile and Coriander, plus Australian natives Cinnamon Myrtle, Pink Peppercorn and Strawberry Gum to complete the assembly of aromatics.
“Our Yuzu Gin is a sense-awakening postcard from today’s Riverland. It combines traditional citrus and botanicals with heightening native spices and, of course, the Riverland Yuzu and Buddha’s Hand,” said Brand Manager, Amelia Wright.
“The result is a refreshing, juicy sweetness with lingering zest and warmth, partnered with soft floral citrus aromas. It’s best served as a thirst-quenching G&T which will reveal the natural ‘cloudy’ mixing effect.”
Twenty Third St Distillery’s award-winning Yuzu Gin is currently available at Dan Murphy’s and the Twenty Third St Distillery in Renmark, SA, along with the distillery’s other tantalising gins including the Violet Gin and Red Citrus Gin.
