Taylor & Smith – not to be confused with Taylor Swift – is a little artisan distillery in Hobart owned and run by Natalie and Ben, who experiment with local Tasmanian botanicals to distil the spirit of place.
The special relationship between place and flavour defines Taylor & Smith. It is this same quality that Analiese Gregory celebrates in her cookbook How Wild Things Are and SBS show A Girl’s Guide To Hunting, Fishing and Wild Cooking. Tasmania’s wild island has long inspired the forager-chef. From Michelin-starred restaurants to redefining farm-to-table living in her rustic Huon Valley farmhouse, Analiese looks to nature's pantry for her flavours.
In a meeting of minds and devotion to craft we are thrilled to introduce Honey Gin, a special collaboration between the honey bee, Analiese Gregory and Taylor & Smith.
Each beeswax-lined bottle celebrates the essence of 561 500 blossoms—an ambrosia that captures the Tasmanian Spirit, with gentle sweetness from Analiese’s hives.
Waves of musk dance around the paperbark. Distinct florals leap out first before the bush honey brings reminders of the native plants the bees have visited, layers of myrtle and bottlebrush. The wax smooths, rounds, and offers up plenty of lush texture. It finishes with a decent hit of juniper to remind you it is very much a gin. Honey Gin can be as easily be sipped alone, or slipped into endless cocktail variations.
