Ink Gin

Gin description

This organic, small batch, Australian craft gin resulted from distiller Paul Messenger’s experimentations with an exotic flowering legume from Thailand known as the ‘Butterfly Pea’ (Clitoria ternatea) in 2012. Inspired by its colour changing properties, Messenger spent the next three years creating a recipe that would harmonise a range of botanicals, including the native Australian bush tucker, with the singular flower. Settling on balanced recipe of 12 botanicals, Ink Gin is placed in a hand-beaten copper pot still at the Husk Plantation Distillery, where it is combined with 100% Australian grain spirit and water from the volcanic rocks of the caldera that originally fell as rain.
