Crafting HM Woodcutter Gin
HM No. 2 Woodcutter Gin is something special—truly unlike anything you’ve tasted before. We didn’t just stick to the usual when creating this gin; we played around with different botanicals and experimented with how we make it.
It’s become a go-to for seasoned gin lovers, but it’s also a great pick if you’re just starting your gin journey. Try it with a splash of ginger ale, and you’ve got yourself a dangerously refreshing drink that’s perfect for unwinding.
Tasting notes
On the nose, you’ll find clean, fresh citrus aromas with a hint of sweetness. On the palate, the bright lemon myrtle is perfectly balanced by a smooth, caramel oak finish that will leave you wanting more.
Botanicals
The Woodcutter Gin Origin Story
How HM Woodcutter Gin is Made
For the base of the Woodcutter we use the highest purity alcohol available in Australia and Juniper berries sourced from Hungary. We further add coriander, coconut sugar and finely cut locally grown lemon myrtle to the mix. The botanical basket is filled with fresh lemons and limes which infuse the gin vapours.
The resultant concentrated gin has a full citrus taste and is distilled with an average alcohol by volume (ABV) of 79%. The gin is then stored in stainless-steel tanks. French oak spirals are added giving the Woodcutter gin its natural honey colour. The oak further balances the botanical flavours for a richly smooth finish that is delicious to taste.
After some time on oak, the gin is then diluted to 43% ABV, bottled and packed ready to enjoy.
