DAY 7: GINTONICA GIN ADVENT CALENDAR TASTING NOTES GREAT OCEAN ROAD DISTILLERY GUVVOS GIN The Great Ocean Road is one of the best road trips in the world, and the small town of Airleys Inlet is some 1.5hrs from Melbourne. Not far from the beach, for which this gin is named, you’ll find the tasting room of new debut distillery, @greatoceanroadgin Using the location as her inspiration, Ann Houlihan, has combined some 24 botanicals, many of which are native to the area. Actually distilled by the contract distillers Craft and Co in inner city Melbourne, this approachable gin features exotic botanicals such as local honey, kelp, coastal salt bush, coast daisy, plus lemons, limes and lemongrass among others. You can pick up the coastal inspiration on the nose, which is bright and aromatic with plenty of citrus notes. On the palette is very crisp and the native honey rounds out the spice from the juniper up front and a slightly salty finish, overall very moorish with no spirit heat, and a very successful debut spirit. There is no need to overthink this gin which has Summer vibes all over it, it’s versatile enough to drink it neat over ice, or G+T (suggest a thin lemon or grapefruit peel garnish) or a nice dry Martini with a twist.
