Manly Spirits Co., the artisan distillery known for premium, hand-crafted Australian whiskies, gins, liqueurs, and botanical vodkas, has launched the first two gins in the four-part series ‘Rockpools of Sydney’, inspired by Australia’s coastal living and landmark rockpools.

The delicious, limited edition ‘Fairy Bower Gin’ is a citrus and lime forward spirit, made from a unique blend of sustainably grown Australian native botanicals and fruits including rainforest lime, finger lime, Ribery, and whole lemons and limes.

Unlike any other gin from Manly Spirits Co. so far, the ‘Fairy Bower Gin’ is the creation of a totally different production process that involves steeping whole, fresh lemons and limes (not just their peels) in the still for 24 hours to maximize flavour extraction. The entire fruits are then distilled with the rest of the botanicals to capture their essence fully. This method not only ensures a bright and fresh flavour, but also minimizes waste, aligning with the distillery’s commitment to sustainability.

The second offering from ‘Rockpools of Sydney’ is ‘Bronte Baths’, a cool-as-a-cucumber French 75-inspired gin made from blood lime, cucumber, juniper, coriander seed, lemon myrtle, coriander leaf, and Sea Parsley botanicals.

Upon the first sip of the ‘Bronte Baths’ gin, the juniper takes centre stage, unfolding its classic piney flavour with a nuanced complexity. Crisp and invigorating, the lemon myrtle introduces a bright, lemony zest, complemented by the subtle warmth of coriander leaf. The sea parsley adds a unique maritime character, enhancing the gin’s depth and providing a distinct earthy undertone.

Available for delivery nationwide at manlyspirits.com.au, $90 per 700ml bottle.

CD has 2 x Fairy Bower Gin and 1 x Bronte Baths Gin 700ml bottles to give away to three winners.
