Wild Hibiscus Distilling Co. Finger Lime Gin is 10 years in the making and THE WORLD’S MOST DIFFICULT GIN TO MAKE — each small batch taking over one year from growing the fruit to bottling. Finger limes are first pollinated by bees from the distillery’s own apiary at Kurrajong Heights, nurtured in the orchard for 8–9 months absorbing clean air and sunshine on the edge of the Blue Mountains, then hand-picked at perfect maturity wearing long leather gloves. Through a unique process developed by the distiller and built with his brother, the caviar is gently removed, seeds separated, and the pure caviar infused for several months on a special distiller’s strength gin to age, soak and mature — ensuring the perfect pop, just like it was picked yesterday, with each tiny pearl becoming 40% alcohol gin. Balanced with pure deep spring water from the farm at Kurrajong Heights. 40% alc. 750ml.
