ABOUT OUR DISTILLER’S SPECIAL HM ANISE GIN 2026 RELEASE
You’ve been asking for it, and we finally felt it was time to bring back our Anise Gin—but this time, with a bit more punch. After Dad (our head distiller, Gavin) finished his WSET Level 3, he came back with a fresh obsession for world spirits like ouzo and absinthe. That spark led him right back to the still to see how far we could push those anise botanicals. The 2026 Distiller’s Special is the result of that experimentation. During the run, the whole distillery here in Plenty was thick with the scent of spice and star anise. We distilled it to be bolder and more intense, think of that classic sambuca warmth but kept our signature HM smoothness so it’s incredibly easy to sip.
It’s a confident, warming gin where the juniper is layered with a predominance of aromatic star anise and anise myrtle. Every bottle is handcrafted right here in Victoria, made for those of you who truly love that deep aniseed flavour. Since there are only 45 bottles in this year’s batch, once they’re gone, they’re gone. We hope you love this bolder side of HM as much as we do.
HM Anise Gin is gluten free and vegan friendly.
