Tasting Notes

This is garden gin through rose-tinted glasses - a raspberry-laced whisper of a spirit that leans more toward flavour than fire. At 32%, it's light, liqueur-adjacent, and outrageously easy to drink. But don’t mistake softness for simplicity - there's structure here, and elegance too.

 

On the nose: wild raspberries still warm from the sun, rose petals, a hint of mint leaf, and soft citrus zest. There's also a trace of piney juniper underneath it all - the bare bones of classic gin structure holding the fruit aloft.

 

The palate is luscious but clean: bright raspberry coulis, pink grapefruit, lemon thyme, and a breeze of cucumber skin. There's a lovely tart-sweet push-and-pull, almost like a dry rose that’s had a fling with a fruit patch. The alcohol is low, but it carries the botanicals without fading - this isn’t watered down, it's toned down.

 

Mid-palate brings more herbal depth - a touch of basil, perhaps, or peppery nasturtium - before rounding off into a creamy raspberry compote with a crisp, zesty edge.

 

Finish: fresh, floral, and fleeting - like a kiss in the garden just before sunset. Serve long with soda, or pour over crushed ice with a sprig of mint and a twist of lemon. Or don't dress it up at all - it's that pretty on its own.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Knocklofty Raspberry Garden Gin is produced at the Spring Bay farm distillery in Tasmania using the same copper pot still and native botanical base as the Garden Party Gin — eleven botanicals including Tasmanian Native Bush Pepper, Lemon Myrtle, and Wattleseed, with juniper and liquorice root vapour-infused through the still neck. The Raspberry Garden expression is distinguished by a more concentrated steeping of Tasmanian raspberries in the finished gin, which delivers an intense fresh raspberry character alongside the native botanical and juniper base. Westerway Farm in Tasmania supplies the fresh raspberries used in each batch. Bottled at 32% ABV in a limited 500ml format.

Provenance

Knocklofty Distillery is a family-owned farm distillery located in Spring Bay, Tasmania, Australia. The distillery produces its own base ethanol from organic raw sugar before distilling and redistilling into its range of gins. Knocklofty gins are produced using a copper pot still and draw on a selection of Tasmanian native botanicals — including Tasmanian Native Bush Pepper, Lemon Myrtle, and Tasmanian Wattleseed — sourced from the island's rich native flora, alongside seasonal and locally grown produce. The Garden Party and Raspberry Garden gins both incorporate surplus berries from Tasmania's Westerway Farm, steeped directly in the gin to produce their characteristic fruit character.

About this Spirits

Tasmania

Apart from being the most southerly wine region in Australia, Tasmania has among the coolest growing subregions with the potential to make distinctly different wines than in the rest of the country.

Most well known for cool-climate varietals like Pinot noir and Chardonnay (thus sparkling too), Sauvignon Blanc smaller plantings of Riesling, Cabernet and Pinot Gris (more commonly Pinot labelled Pinot Grigio)

Historically, Tasmania can lay claim to being the founder of both the Victorian and South Australian wine industries as William Henty sailed from Launceston to Portland (in Victoria) in 1834 and planted grape cuttings there. Though not conclusively proven, it's believed that John Hack planted vines in South Australia in 1837, closely followed in 1838 by John Reynell.

Warmer vintages (possibly attributable to global warming) has had positive effects on region's industry, allowing grapes in recent vintages to achieve full phenolic ripeness, making for vibrant wines that have been widely accepted as world class.
