This weekend try the Quokka Happily Crafted Gin- a new premium gin inspired by the happiest animal on Earth- the Quokka. Just like these friendly and happy animals the gin also believes in offering happiness to its drinkers. The Quokka Happily Crafted Gin believes in Optimism, Positivity, Kindness, Gratitude, and Empathy.
The gin is made using juniper berries and you can taste the sweet spicy flavor that has been balanced with local Australian botanicals. There is a fleeting glimpse of Sukura cherry blossom and traditional gin notes before the tea and tannic notes take over. Leafy hints of tea and fresh fruit. A vivid note of citrus from the yuzu, and a long finish.
But it is important that you taste the gin before appreciating the combinations of flavors and botanicals. Quokka gin is definitely unlike anything that you have tasted before.
Anytime you need to unwind, pour yourself a glass of Quokka gin. It is a gin that is easy to drink and can put a smile on your face.
