1848 Australian Dry Gin
The 1848 Australian Dry Gin is a collaboration between Melbourne Royal (the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria) and Anther Spirits in honour of Melbourne Royal Celebrating 175 Years in 2023.
Juniper and coriander forward, with subtle notes of strawberries and cream, ginger and nutmeg, this gin is a nod both to Melbourne Royal’s long association with the Country Women’s Association and its continued evolution as an organisation through the introduction in 2015 of the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards amid the re-emergence of craft distilling in Australia.
Brad Jenkins, Chief Executive Officer, Melbourne Royal says “I am excited to share with you this special collaboration with our friends from Anther Spirits in recognition of Melbourne Royal celebrating 175 Years in 2023. Enjoy”.

The Anther Flavour Wheel
Did you know, each bottle of Anther Gin has a hidden recipe on the back?
-
Whats a flavour wheel and where is it?
When you get your yummy bottle of Anther Gin into those hot hands of yours, flip your bottle over and have a peek at the back label. At the very top of each back label you will see a wheel with 8 different botanicals sections. Each section will tell you if there's a lot, or a little of these botanical bombshells in the gin. Neat, huh?

How do you drink your Anther Gin neat?
We recommend via your mouth ;)
Have a little sip of water before you drink your gin straight, this lubricates your mouth and prepares it for the high alcohol content.
Let the flavour wash over your mouth and breathe out after you've taken a sip. You might pick up citrus, sweetness, spicy or savoury notes. As you sip, we recommend looking over the flavour wheel, there might be some flavours that jump out at you that you know from the botanicals!
Tip - If you sniff your gins with your mouth open (key here is to NOT breathe the gin in through your mouth), your mouth gets prepped for tasting the high proof spirit.
