Dasher + Fisher Ocean Gin (500ml)

The Dasher + Fisher gins are named for the two rivers that run from the mountains to the pristine coast of Tasmania’s north-west. Together they form the label for three very different gins created by George Burgess. With years of technical expertise as a food scientist, he now spends his time foraging for botanicals or sourcing ingredients from local producers. His gins aim to reflect both place and season. This edition features a blend of twelve botanicals, notably abundant in tangy wakame seaweed sourced from the chilly Tasman Sea resulting in a clean, salty style.

The opening sniffs offer engaging scents of cut grass, kelp, rock pools counterpointed by delicate floral notes and hints of chamomile tea. A creamy, low-spice gin with well rounded flavours of piney juniper, brine, pepper and a tangy, fresh, warming finish. Nice coastal character. Will work for a dry Martini or a complex G&T. 40% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producers... On the palate, Ocean Gin delivers a harmonious blend of flavours. The initial sip reveals the tangy and slightly briny notes of wakame seaweed, followed by a refreshing burst of ocean spray that invigorates the senses. The finish is elegantly floral, with the delicate sweetness of rose petal adding a graceful touch to the overall experience. The gin's purity and balance make it a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed neat or in a variety of cocktails, each sip a reminder of the pristine beauty of Tasmania's oceanic landscapes.
