YUZU GIN
The citrus burst falls straight from the tree. Single-orchard sourced, Riverland yuzu, Buddha’s hand, blood orange and cara cara navels grow together for this distinctive gin. Bright, lifted and balanced with spice. Best served as a G&T.
METHOD
In our Copper Pot No. 3, we vapour-infuse pure Australian sugarcane base with a quadruple burst of citrus and refreshing spice melange. Fruit is gathered from a single Riverland orchard. Highly fragrant yuzu and Buddha’s hand fruit are incorporated whole, and from cara cara and blood oranges we use the hand-peeled rind. Juniper, chamomile and coriander plus Australian natives cinnamon myrtle, pink peppercorn and strawberry gum complete the assembly of aromatics.
THE
ARTWORK
Claire Ishino studied Jewellery Design (and a year of Graphics) at the Uni – versity of South Australia. She spent several years living and working in Japan making colourful washi paper collage, resin and silver jewellery before returning to Adelaide where she now concentrates on producing gouache or acrylic paintings and black and white illustrations. Claire exhibits and sells her work through local galleries, shops and at design events such as Bowerbird. Her work has been licensed to teNeues Publishing Co. in New York for use on stationery and was also featured as one of 100 illustrators in ‘Work/Life 3: The UPPERCASE directory of Illustrators’ published by Janine Vangool, Canada, 2013.
Claire’s work is inspired by nature, words, thoughts, emotions and her love of colour, repetition and pattern. Her style is clean and graphic with crisp edges between colours and small details reflective of her back ground in Jewellery.
