Knocklofty Raspberry Garden Gin is a delicate yet vibrant spirit crafted in Hobart with a focus on locally sourced, natural ingredients. At 32% ABV, this garden gin offers a lighter, liqueur-style experience that balances bright raspberry flavors with soft botanical notes, making it an effortlessly elegant choice for those seeking a refined but approachable gin.
On the nose, expect inviting aromas of wild raspberries warmed by the sun, complemented by fragrant rose petals, a hint of fresh mint leaf, and subtle citrus zest. Beneath these layers lies a gentle presence of piney juniper, providing the classic gin structure that elevates the fruit-forward character.
The palate is luscious yet clean, showcasing a vibrant interplay of bright raspberry coulis, juicy pink grapefruit, and aromatic lemon thyme, rounded out by a refreshing whisper of cucumber skin. This creates a harmonious tart-sweet balance reminiscent of a dry rosé mingling with a vibrant fruit patch. Despite the low alcohol content, the botanicals remain pronounced and well-defined, offering complexity without overwhelming heat.
Mid-palate reveals additional herbal depth with subtle notes of basil and peppery nasturtium, which gracefully transition into a creamy raspberry compote accented by a crisp, zesty finish. The finish is fresh, floral, and fleeting, evoking the sensation of a gentle garden breeze at sunset.
This gin is versatile and easy to enjoy: serve it long with soda water for a refreshing summer G&T, pour over crushed ice with a sprig of mint and a twist of lemon, or savor it neat to appreciate its delicate beauty.
