The Wild Plum is our native take on the popular Sloe Gin style.
The name comes from the use of two different plums, the native Australian Davidson Plum and Sloe Berries (which are technically plums). The great earthy and warm taste of the gin comes from this combination with a tart and sweet rounded finish.
Starting with a healthy base of juniper, licorice root, and angelica root, let's add native Australian anise myrtle and orange peel. The combination of anise and orange gives the gin great depth and warm properties.
The Davidson plums have a nice tart stone fruit note, while the sloe berries enhance the fruit taste with a compote character.
The fruit pulls for 3 months, enough time to extract the lovely fresh flavors, but not long enough to produce those astringent notes.
Finally, the gin is lightly sweetened with Banksia Honey from the Swan Valley to lift the fruity character and give it a little sweetness.
