Never Never Distilling Co. has introduced its latest offering, Oyster Shell Gin. Developed in collaboration with Melbourne’s Society Restaurant, the gin sets itself apart by utilizing discarded Kangaroo Island oyster shells in its distillation process, Glam Adelaide reported on Thursday.
In line with ecoSPIRITS, a closed-loop system aimed at reducing 95% of single glass use and packaging waste, Oyster Shell Gin seeks to embody elements of environmental responsibility. Available in the “ecoTOTE” 4.5L format, the gin offers a 29% cost savings compared to traditional bottles.
According to the distillery, the flavor profile of Oyster Shell Gin takes imbibers on a sensory journey along the Australian coastline. Beyond its eponymous sea-based ingredient, the spirit incorporates waxflower, Tasmania wakame, coastal daisy bush, saltbush and round mint.
Never Never Oyster Shell Gin Tasting Notes, Via the Brand
Smell: Fresh sea spray jumps from the glass, bursting with split lime-leaf and fragrant grapefruit zest.
Taste: The palate expresses saline and savoury minerality of Kangaroo Island Oyster shell and dried Australian wakame. Native greens integrate with morish salted citrus, pine and coriander spice on the mid-palate
Finish: Long and luxurious, lending itself to dry martinis and spirit-forward cocktail serves.
In August, Never Never partnered with Port Adelaide Football Club to create a limited-edition pear-flavored gin dubbed “Carn the Pear.”
