Introducing HM Seven Spice Chai Gin
The origin story
What makes our Chai gin different?
As mentioned HM Seven Spice Chai is big and bold in flavour. We use 25 times the normal quantity of ingredients than in any other of our gins. And the addition of honey creates a creamy mouthfeel that balances the medley of spices, delivering HM Gin’s signature smooth finish.

How Seven Spice Chai gin is made
1. Botanicals
2. Distillation
To the still we add our base alcohol at 96.5% ABV followed by all botanicals. After heating the still, distillation runs for around 4 hours with the final ABV of the distillate sitting at 75%.
We then take Wildflower honey and add that to the gin. This is allowed to settle whilst we dilute the gin back to 43% ABV before bottling.
We filter the Chai during the bottling process. You will however still find some some sediment from the honey typically at the base of each bottle of gin.
3. Honey
Using only the best honey is very important to us in creating Seven Spice Chai gin. We use locally sourced raw Wildflower honey from Bizzy Beehive.
Founded by Isabel (Izzy) Gadea in 2013, Bizzy Beehive is located in Beveridge Victoria.
We initially met Izzy at the Eltham Farmers Market where she is a fellow stall holder and have become good friends ever since.
