Australian Dry Gin
Bartenders Notes
A London Dry style with an Australian coastal twist, Manly Spirits Australian Dry Gin is a smooth well-balanced gin distilled using pure Australian wheat spirit. Using ten carefully-considered native and traditional gin botanicals, including sustainably-foraged marine botanicals, our Australian Dry gin showcases bright, fresh citrus and seaside notes on the nose, with the palate delivering gentle peppery notes and a complex savory finish.

Scott Lawrie –
An outstanding example of Australian booze ingenuity! I’m a huge vodka fan, and have been sampling the spirit around the world for almost 15 years. This one is almost impossible to describe in conventional terms; robust, powerful, intriguing, and with a definite touch of orange peel zestiness. Everyone I have shared this with loves it! I prefer to drink this on its own with ice, or with a good quality tonic and it’s sublime. Sadly, I cant find a distributor here in NZ tho. Any clues?

Sorry Scott. We haven’t secured a distributor for NZ yet but working on it.
