Hartshorn Distillery Sheep Whey Gin 40% 5L quinta-de-pedra-escrita The deep garnet-purple colored 2015Hartshorn Sheep Whey Gin uses 6 native Australian botanicals (plus juniper) with 2 of them never used before in any other gin (Australian flower and sweet grass). All botanicals are vapour infused (as opposed to steeped) which is a technique not used too often with Australian Gins, giving the Gin a much more delicate and subtle bouquet with petal and citrus aromas with a hint of freshly cut hay.
