Another beautiful looking and tasting gin from this Perth-based distillery.
This Heather Rose gin is produced in the same way as Strathearn’s delicious Citrus Gin: first, a basket of botanicals is vapour infused in the distillery’s 500 litre pot still. After distillation, this spirit provides the base for the next stage, in which further, more delicate botanicals are infused to the gin. This process produces the distinctive colour and flavour of the gin.
In all, Strathearn Heather Rose uses botanicals of orange peel, lemon peel, liqourice root, juniper, coriander seeds, and crucially, purple heather flowers and rose petals.
The result is a fresh, fragrant and floral gin, perfect as an aperitif. The spirit makes a G&T with a delightful pink blush. We can see this working very well in classic cocktails such as the Aviation.
Each batch of gin contains only 280 bottles, making this a genuinely small batch production.
