From Battery Point Distillery and the National Trust classified Lenna of Hobart Hotel comes the launch of a special, limited edition gin - House of Lenna. Crafted by head distiller Jack Lark (son of Bill and Lyn Lark) this is the first blend, which has been handmade to highlight the depth of flavour and aromatics found in Australian ingredients. Lyn Lark, an award winning gin distiller in her own right, worked with Jack in the development and perfecting of the recipe. Distilled out of the House of Lenna Tasmanian copper pot still, this unique gin offers a classic dry style with a careful balance of 12 hand-selected botanicals, including native Tasmanian Pepper-berries and a pinch of Tasmanian Sea Salt. Delivering a whole-mouth feel and perfume-like aroma, this gin promises rich herbaceous complexity, balanced to perfection, it can be enjoyed on its own, mixed with tonic or mineral water, or in a classic martini. When speaking of his inspiration Jack said “it was really important to me that we craft a gin that could be enjoyed on its own as much as with tonic etc, or in a cocktail, so we wanted to avoid any overt sharpness or bitterness on the palette. The House of Lenna dry gin has a rosemaryforward freshness, offset with the sweet aroma of vanilla and tonka bean at the finish and that touch of sea salt to lengthen and round out the palette. The result is wonderfully rich and smooth. We trialled 5 individual recipes before agreeing on this final blend. I felt really passionate about this recipe, so when Lloyd and Jan (the distillery owners) chose it as their favourite I knew we were on to a winner.” The packaging has been inspired by the beautiful heritage tiles on the verandah of the magnificent 1874 Lenna hotel building. Battery Point Distillery, established in 2018, is committed to crafting small-batch, hand-crafted quality spirits that champion Tasmania. Enjoy. Perfect Serve: Lots of ice, slice of lemon, light fresh tonic and a sprig of rosemary.
