Pure, smooth Australian sugarcane spirit is distilled with traditional juniper and Australian native botanicals lemon myrtle, cinnamon myrtle, pepperberry, finger lime and wattle seed. Butterfly pea are steeped in the liquid for 18 hours to bestow their natural blue tint. This is sensitive to pH, and transforms to delicate violet with added acidity such as tonic or lemon.
