Bellarine Distillery Bear & The Koalas Gin
Ultimately, a citrus-dominated profile; it's difficult to overlook the strong lemon-scented gum. Notoriously intense on the nose, the bold gum is so laser focused that it pushes past, encompassing the aroma and turning an often divisive botanical into a transportive flavour. At such a concentration, the nuance of the lemon gum begins to reveal itself, with wisps of minty eucalypt that produce an acutely fresh aroma. On the palate, the gum lingers a moment longer before yielding to the other botanicals. A dynamic ambience of warm juniper and well-rounded supporting flavours, leaning gently toward spice, completes the picture of a well-thought-out and well-shaped spirit. It offers an enjoyable conjunction between classic, rounded gin flavour and more modern Australian styles.
