Description
The West Winds Wild Plum Gin is our take on a flavoured gin like a Sloe Gin and Shiraz Gin. Made with Native Davidson Plums and Sloe Berries, the gin has been designed to have a warm and earthy backbone to support these unique Australian flavours. With its tart finish coming from the Davidson Plums, you’ll also discover a cozy sweetness thanks to Banksia Honey and Sloe Berries, all perfectly balanced out with robust Citrus notes.Our Wild Plum releases have become Australia’s most awarded flavoured gin and the 2021 release will be no exception – this is some of the finest liquid using our native flavours alongside traditional gin aromas.
With so much character, the 2021 vintage will taste great to sip as is or try in one of our cocktail suggestions. Serve long with soda or tonic and garnish with an orange wedge for a simple refresher, or if you’re looking to get creative we’ve got plenty of ideas to get you mixing this way.
Tasting Notes
The Wild Plum is our native twist on the popular Sloe Gin style. The name comes from the use of two different plums, the Native Australian Davidson Plum and Sloe Berries (which are technically plums). The gin's big earthy and warm flavour comes from this combination, with a tart and sweet rounded finish. Starting with a sound base of Juniper, Liquorice root, and Angelica Root we add Native Australian Anise Myrtle and Orange Peel. The Anise and Orange combination gives the gin great depth and warm characteristics. After we make the gin base, we infuse it with Australian Davidson Plum and Sloe Berries. The Davidson Plums bring a beautiful sour stone fruit note, while the Sloe Berries fortify the fruit flavour with stewed fruit character. We allow the fruit to steep for 3 months, enough time to extract the beautiful fresh flavours, but not long enough to lead to those astringent notes. To finish we lightly sweeten the gin with Banksia Honey from the Swan Valley to lift the fruit characters and give it some sweetness.Product Details
