Bellarine Spirits The Celebration Gin

Christmas-pudding notes set the direction of Bellarine Spirits The Celebration Gin, bottled at 39% ABV on the producer's Signature Gin base. The tasting profile includes salted caramel, peach, cinnamon, maple syrup and vanilla. Bellarine Spirits presents it for celebrations throughout the year, rather than as a seasonal release. Its place in the range comes from the contrast between a familiar gin base and warmer, dessert-like flavours.

Spicy · Fruity · Vanilla

The aroma brings sweet spice and caramel first, followed by peach and vanilla. Cinnamon gives it a clear baking-spice character, while maple and salted caramel add richness. Beneath those associations, the Signature Gin base keeps the drink connected to juniper and the botanical character of gin. The result is generous and warming, and benefits from a cold serve and a fresh garnish to keep the sweetness in balance.

On the palate, peach brings a soft fruit note, followed by cinnamon and vanilla, which extend the Christmas-pudding impression. Salted caramel and maple lend a rounded quality before the more familiar botanical base returns. At 39%, the gin has enough body for a long drink and can also suit cocktails built around warm spice and fruit. The producer's year-round positioning means its name is not restricted to winter gatherings.
