The popularity of gin has soared both nationally and internationally with popular distilleries like Four Pillars in the Yarra Valley and the Bellarine\u2019s own The Whiskery drawing mass crowds.<\/p>\n
Torquay\u2019s Frontbeach Taphouse & Restaurant – in ode to the re-emergence of the popular spirit – is launching their own Gin Bar which owner Nick Cogger said will house the best gin available.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gin Bar will launch on December 7, we\u2019ve got a couple of distillers coming along. Russ Watson with their Teddy & The Fox gin (from the Bellarine Distillery, The Whiskery) and Seb and Derv from Australia\u2019s current champion gin Anther,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re going to be here, so we\u2019ll make a couple of cocktails and everyone can sample the gins. Our Gin Bar will have 25 different gins, mainly Australian\u00a0crafted but international as well alongside a\u00a0range of different tonics to match the gin.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Cogger said over the past two to three years the popularity of gin had soared with consumers making it one of the most popular spirits.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt (gin) is going through that craft beer evolution, a lot of different Australian companies are setting up gin distilleries, led by Four Pillars in the Yarra Valley,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow Australia has some of the best gins in the world with a nautical, botanical focus the distillers are using.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teddy & the Fox is an aromatic blend of six botanicals, juniper, coriander, orange, lemon myrtle, orris root and star anise, which will be available to sample at the launch.<\/p>\n
