Coastal, Complex, and Brilliantly Balanced - A Gin That Captures the Essence of the Sea
Never Never Oyster Shell Gin is a masterful expression of coastal Australia, combining maritime minerality with bright citrus and juniper purity. Crafted by the award-winning team at Never Never Distilling Co., this innovative gin uses South Australian oyster shells to impart a subtle salinity and silky texture, resulting in a spirit that’s as refined as it is refreshing.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Fresh coastal breeze with juniper, lime peel, and a whisper of sea spray.
Palate: Clean and textural with citrus, green olive, and savoury minerality layered over classic juniper and coriander spice.
Finish: Smooth, briny, and long, leaving a delicate saline sparkle and fresh citrus lift.
Serving Suggestions
Perfect in a G&T with a wedge of lemon or grapefruit, or elevate it in a Dry Martini with a dash of vermouth and a lemon twist. Also shines in a Negroni or Gibson where its savoury edge enhances complexity.
