Feeling all at home thanks to the fine hospitality of @bistrosociale at the lovely @beridahotel in Bowral. They even remembered my Martini order from months ago when I was staying for work. Starting to feel like the holidays. 🍸 Oh, it’s a medium dry @sipsmith Martini. 👌 #bowral #cocktailhour #martinitime #ginspiration #holidays #weekendvibes #stirrednotshaken #gin #luxe #smallhotels #visitsouthernhighlands #visitnsw #cocktails #martiniwhisperer #themartiniwhisperer

DAY 14: GINTONICA GIN ADVENT CALENDAR TASTING NOTES KILDERKIN DISTILLERY SUNBURNT COUNTRY GIN Established in 2016 in Ballarat, Victoria, this is the first distillery in the area since the 1930s and is well worth the visit, especially as they have a craft beer brewery as a neighbour! Using a specially commission pot still, distillers Chris Pratt and Scott Wilson-Browne make a range of gins using the vapour infusion method with their botanicals in baskets. The @kilderkindistillery Larrikin range of gins includes this interesting expression that lands at a healthy 50.7% ABV in homage to a record temperature for Australia. Hopefully that record stands for some time to come. On the nose you get plenty of rich oily aromatics, but no big boozy hit. This follows through on the palette and it’s pleasantly laid back, with a nice rich mouth feel, clean and just enough heat from the spirit to keep things interesting. Natives are the heroes in this gin with Davidson’s plum, wattleseed, lemon myrtle, bush tomato and strawberry gum in the mix, but they don’t shout at you unlike sometimes in Aussie gins, this is a good thing. Drinking wise, I fancy it on ice with a splash of tonic to open things up with a lime peel garnish.
