Bright Night Wild Tasmanian Gin
Dusty, intense and twinkling with flavour, Bright Night Gin fuses the distinctive taste of Tasmania’s native bushlands with traditional aromatics.
Savour the tantalising interplay of fourteen carefully selected botanicals including mountain pepper berries, lemon myrtle and kunzea. Earthy notes balance with bright citrus and bursts of peppery spice.
Complex and luminescent, like the Southern Ocean’s dark skies, Bright Night can be enjoyed cloudy on ice or in your favourite cocktail.
Another award winning gin made by award winning distiller Damian Mackey.
Bright Night Gin is intentionally unfiltered and thus may cloud when poured over ice because of the volume of botanicals in the gin.

Bright Night Wild Tasmanian Gin Reviews
Bright Night Gin Tasting Notes
Nose:
Big aroma filling the whole of nose. Spicy, resinous, and herbal running to lolly sweetness at the back.
Palate:
Full bodied, almost viscous mouth feel. Gentle warming heat from cardamom and mountain pepper with hints of citrus, liquorice, and sarsaparilla.
Finish:
Lasting, earthy and herbal with pops of spice.
Makes a great heart-warming G&T, or can be enjoyed neat as a sipping gin.
Unfiltered Gin
Bright Night Gin is intentionally unfiltered. Unfiltered Gin keeps more of the essential flavouring oils. The generous weight of botanicals used in this gin creates a high concentration of flavouring volatile oils. As a result, Bright Night Unfiltered Gin may cloud when mixed over ice.

THE TEAM
Meet the team behind Bright Night Wild Tasmanian Gin.
Our Wild Tasmanian Gin a London Dry style of gin (with a contemporary Australian Twist). London Dry Gin is a style of gin that is known for its classic, traditional, and dry characteristics. It is not necessarily made in London, although historically, many of the world’s most famous gin brands were originally produced in London. London Dry Gin can be produced anywhere in the world, as long as it adheres to certain production and flavor profile standards. Our Wild Tasmanian Gin distilled and bottled in Tasmania adheres to the London Dry style. Here is what classifies as a London Dry Gin
– Uses a base neutral spirit, our gin uses a grain based neutral spirit
– Has a juniper dominant taste, so juniper must be the prominent flavour for a London Dry gin. You can use other botanicals (Bright Night Wild Tasmanian Gin uses 14) but they shouldn’t be the dominant flavour
– Has to only use natural ingredients, no artificial additives, colourings or sweetners are allowed
– No botanicals or flavourings can be added after distillation, all the botanicals have to go in during or before the distillation process, only water is allowed after the gin is distilled
London Dry Gin is considered the benchmark for a classic gin and the Bright Night Wild Tasmanian Gin is recommended for London Dry Gin fans.
Our Wild Tasmanian Gin is a London Dry Gin but with a contemporary Australian Twist, which means that it is not very juniper heavy. It is still juniper forward but also not juniper prominent, it has a balance of other Australian botanicals which make it more contemporary. The other botanicals that balance out the flavour are Tasmanian Kunzea, Tasmanian Pepperberry and Lemon Myrtle.
