Blind Tiger

IN THE 1920’S PROHIBITION ERA, A “BLIND TIGER” WAS AN ESTABLISHMENT KNOWN TO ILLEGALLY SELL ALCOHOL, WITH A FOCUS ON CELEBRATING THE EXCITING FLAVOUR AND TASTE OF LIQUOR COCKTAILS, MANY OF WHICH WERE GIN BASED.

BLIND TIGER ORGANIC GIN IS DISTILLED in small batches and is a complex, yet elegant and aromatic gin made from the finest certified organic botanicals.

Having searched the world for the very best ingredients, Blind Tiger is made up of a complex yet elegant blend of juniper berries, coriander, angelica root and summer savoury, creating an aromatic and elegant gin; the perfect addition to both simpler tipples such as gin and tonics, or as a base for flavoursome gin cocktails.

It is Blind Tiger’s belief that gin is truly a product of the earth and it is on this foundation that the brand is built. Blind Tiger is produced using simple ingredients; pure water and grain, to create a neutral spirit infused with handpicked botanicals.

Juniper berry is the core botanical of many gins and the same is true of Blind Tiger, where it adds a note of fresh spring forest and a sharp burst of citrus. In addition to this, coriander root was selected to both enhance the existing citrus characters, whilst also adding a subtle, earthy layer to the gin. Finally, angelica root gives a heady note of musk and the summer savoury a subtle yet peppery mint overtone.

As with the care taken to choose the botanicals that make up the unique blend that is Blind Tiger, the same level of attention is given to the distillation process. Distilled together in a traditional small gin still, the botanicals combine to create an aromatic infusion which is then carefully blended with an organic wheat spirit to create a fine and elegant London Dry style of Gin.

Distillation is an Art that requires both skill and patience and it is this level of attention and care that makes the exceptional and distinct flavour profile found in Blind Tiger. A quality product starts with quality ingredients and Blind Tiger puts faith in the understanding that by using ingredients from only certified organic sources, their gin will contain a purity of flavour. On this note, Blind Tiger ensures their impact on the earth is minimal by employing organic farming processes. By using no artificial herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers they can rest easy in the knowledge that they have created a product that speaks of the clean, green approach they take in making it.

Launched in Australia in 2015 Blind Tiger Organic Gin is only available throughout the country, and with a limit on how much organic spirit they can produce, it is likely to stay that way; as a real small batch, hand crafted product. ❧
