HM GIN X BAKERY HILL
This collaboration started with two family distilleries and a shared love of doing things properly.
Founded by fathers and now carried forward by the next generation, we wanted to make something that sits between worlds: the warmth and spice of our Seven Spice Chai Gin, with the smoke and depth of a peated Australian malt whisky.
The result is a limited release of just 220 bottles, matured for 6 months in genuine Bakery Hill peated malt casks. We tried classic whisky casks first, but they didn’t give us the intensity we were after. Peated casks did.
TASTING NOTES
A clear and deep amber appearance reflecting the contributions of both the local Victorian honey and time spent maturing in Bakery Hill casks.
On the nose a rich and harmonious combination of spices, sweetness and smoky peated whisky.
On the palate it has a myriad of flavours spanning the initial sweetness of the honey quickly followed with a mix of chai spices. The finish is smooth, long and packed with the smokiness of the peated whisky casks that lingers long after you’ve taken that last sip.
The balance, intensity and complexity of flavour, coupled with the smooth long finish makes this a gin that will be a standout in any collection. Recommended served neat or with a small piece of ice.
A NOTE FROM AMY
Amy here, one of the co-founders of HM Gin. We chose peated malt casks for the depth of flavour they brought to our already delicious Seven Spice Chai Gin. Classic whisky casks just didn’t give us the intensity we were after.
If you love peated whisky, love our chai, or you’re a collector, this is one you’ll want to experience for yourself. With only 220 bottles, once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Thank you. This release was launched to support men’s health. Thanks to everyone who bought a bottle, we’ve donated $2,280 to The Man Cave.
