A SWEET START
To the left
Riverland Rose Vodka
Our first tasting is the Riverland Rose Vodka from Twenty Third Street Distillery in South Australia.
This rose vodka is a beautiful delicate vodka with rose and other floral elements. Lily Blacks described it as
“sticking your nose in a boozy bouquet of flowers” ;)
+
Dried Fruit
We have paired this with a selection of dried fruit.
Why they are the perfect pair
Dried fruit always goes well with vodka. The sweet, rich flavours of dried fruit create a nice balance between the crisp, cold vodka.
See if you can taste a difference in the flavour of the vodka as you try the different fruits. You’ll notice that with each different fruit, new flavours come through within the vodka.

Twenty Third Street Distillery Gin
Our next tasting is another delicious spirit from the Twenty Third Street Distillery, Gin!
Twenty Third Street Distillery actually barrel-age their gin in bourbon barrels. Bourbon barrels can only be used once to distill Bourbon, and usually get shipped to places all over the world after they has filled their function. So not only has Twenty Third Street Distillery found a new job for these barrels, but they have also introduced a great new flair to a classic gin.

Pickled Vegetables
We have paired this with delicious pickled vegetables, made in-house, including Lily Blacks famous pickle brine with various capsicums and carrots.
Why they are the perfect pair
Look for the wood characteristics from this particular gin. The smell of juniper is still prevalent but due to the way this gin was aged, it does bring more oak to the flavour. The salt and water in pickle brine naturally combat the dehydrating effect of alcohol meaning it acts as a neutraliser, allowing you to taste the flavours in the gin more clearly.
IT’S ALL IN THE MYSTERY

With this mystery spirit, you will be indulging in "the best-mixed olives you've ever had", courtesy of Cleo's Market in Prahran. A combination of 6 olives marinated in a secret recipe only Cleo himself can disclose.
