Snowy Mountains-based distillery Wildbrumby has released a new seasonal gin that’s been blended with organically home-grown raspberries.

The gin, called Rubus Patch, is also made from pH-balanced alpine water, and has been balanced with an aromatic pallet of citrus and juniper.

The schnapps distiller recently moved into gin production, and Rubus Patch is a seasonal variation on its classic Wildbrumby Gin, which recently won a gold medal at the 2016 Melbourne International Spirits Competition.
 
According to its maker, the product's dynamic berry nose harmonises with gentler notes of rose, cardamom, coriander and mountain pepper berry, never upstaging the citrus-juniper foundations.
 
“The perfectly rounded 'mouthfeel' or structure is the product of purity, alkalinity and mineral trace elements of the natural alpine spring water used in the distilling process.”
 
Rubus Patch retails for $85 and is available from the Wildbrumby distillery door and from its online store
