Description

In crafting HM Seven Spice Chai distilled gin, we distil cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, nutmeg, cloves, black pepper, ginger, and tea extract with a healthy dose of juniper. All botanicals are added to the still pot for distillation with nothing in the botanical basket.

After distillation, we add a generous amount of Wildflower honey to balance the spices and juniper, and of course, add a touch of sweetness to give our chai spiced gin its signature smooth finish. This creates a versatile gin that has a rich mouth feel and is full of flavour.
Creating HM Seven Spice Chai Gin also helped us connect with our local community, as all honey was sourced from Bizzy Beehive Australia (based in Beveridge, Victoria).
The origin story
Picture this – Gav, our Head Distiller, and I were on a road trip to meet a fellow distillery owner who also produces Chai powder. Being a Chai enthusiast myself, the car ride became an impromptu brainstorming session. With excitement, I blurted out, “You know, all the ingredients used to make Chai also go into gin – but never all together! Let’s give it a shot!”
Our friend generously gave us a kilo bag of their raw Chai mixture, and with a twinkle in our eyes, we set out to distill. The result? Well, you’re about to discover the magic of HM Seven Spice Chai Gin!
What makes our Chai gin different?
HM Seven Spice Chai distilled gin is big and bold in flavour and this because we use 25 times the regular quantity of ingredients than in any other of our gins. The addition of honey creates a creamy mouthfeel that balances the medley of spices, delivering HM Gin’s signature smooth finish.
To top it off, the Seven Spice Chai Gin won Gold at the 2024 World Gin Awards and was also awarded Australia’s best Contemporary Gin.

    Of all the gins blushing pink is my fav. But then comes the spiced chai and blows me out. It has a wonderful balance of honey and the spices. The aroma when you pour the gin is lovely and has a sweetness to it that is relaxing. A sip or two and you can taste the spices. The balance between the honey and the spices is perfect. You can have it on ice or with Soda or even tonic (for those with sweet tooth) and it tastes just as good. You can have it as a dessert drink or starters. Whichever way you look at it, it tastes good. Its a wonderful all rounder! Must try.

    Our fav gin we’ve tasted. Bags of flavour, really drinkable with only a splash of mixer. Highly recommend.

    Love your seven spice chai gin! Absolutely blown away when we first tasted it at the recent Melb royal show. It’s well balanced, right amount of sweetness complimenting the spice and it was very delightful to sip on!

    The Blushing Pick Gin we scored at the MFWS was out favourite for a long time, that was until we sipped the Chai a few days ago at the Melb Show. What can we say, we love some spiced chai so how could we not take home 3 bottles from the show, break out backs and shoulders carrying it around the showgrounds. Nothing would ease the sore shoulders like another glass of this perfect gin over ice, because we like it strong.

    I tried your Spiced Gin and Pink Gin at the Red Hill market and loved them so I ordered them that night!
    I am in love with the both of them especially the Spiced Gin. Your service was also so prompt as well! I will definitely be buying again!

    I found your distillery and, your Seven Spice Chai Gin, at the Royal Melbourne Show this year.
    Being a huge Chai Tea lover (I drink mine without any milk!!), your Gin was an absolute revelation of incredible flavour, that I sometimes enjoy just on ice in my specially designed double-wall whiskey glasses, or with Ginger Beer – either way, it is just spectacular and, something I will continue to buy into the future.
    I’m going to try to work my way through your other gin selections as I re-order the Chai Gin, but I don’t think anything can surpass what is now my favourite gin.
    Thanks for all of your creativity.

    Hey Team,
    Just wanted to say thanks for your marvelous creation in the Seven Spice Chai Gin. I personally don’t drink but I’m always on the hunt for unique Gins for my boss and his wife for Christmas and Birthday presents.

    I was searching for a present and came across this specific gin and instantly knew from the ingredients listed that it would be a fan favourite with them and the reviews all over the web were spot on in confirming that.

    Now in the last 7 years of working for my boss, I have gifted them with quite a number of Gins – the cult favourite and understandably a frequent flyer in my list of Gins to buy – Four Pillars, Mt Uncle Distillery, Seven Zero Eight, Big Tree Distillery, Gin Mare to name a few but before gifting them your blend, I blindly made a bold claim in outlining this could be a new favourite for them that could beat the prior Gins I have bought them and as expected straight from my boss “Your efforts are remarkable. It’s out of this world good. Definitely next level.”
    So for that, thank you – for making my day in knowing I picked a winner for them, for making their day with a beautiful Gin and most certainly for being a one of a kind company that creates such amazing Gin. I will 100% be a repeat customer and if you happen to make any non alcoholic blends in the future, I may buy some for myself as well!

    Thanks for the prompt processing of my first order with you. I’ve wrapped it up and it’s under the Xmas tree for my wife! I have sipped HM gin before at nine one wine bar and it’s fantastic and Tim certainly feels the same.
    You both have wonderful personalities, very easy going and down to earth. Your gin is top notch and the customer service is flawless. Wishing you all the success and have a safe and merry Xmas and NY.
