The recipe incorporates a total of eleven botanicals. While the individual botanicals are not publicly detailed, the overall aromatic profile is designed to emphasize herbal, floral and earthy characteristics rather than a dominant juniper-forwardJuniper-forwardA classic profile where juniper clearly dominates, with resinous, piney notes.Glossary style. This positioning places Wild Wombat Gin within the New Western Dry GinContemporary ginAlso called New Western: juniper is still there, but other botanicals (citrus, flowers, spice) take the lead.GlossarySee Contemporary gin gins category, where balance and aromatic nuance take precedence over traditional London DryLondon DryA style, not a place of origin: every flavour comes from distilling natural botanicals.

On the nose, the gin presents a soft herbal lift accompanied by subtle floral tones and a grounded, earthy backdrop.
The palate is smooth and rounded, with a gentle progression from fresh botanical notes into more subdued vegetal and root-like impressions. Juniper remains present but restrained, allowing the broader botanical composition to define the character. The texture is clean and approachable, with a controlled alcohol presence at 42% ABV.
The finish is dry and even, leaving lingering herbal and earthy nuances without sharp bitterness. This makes Wild Wombat Gin well suited to a classic gin and tonic, where its softer profile can be highlighted with a light garnish, as well as to modern cocktails that benefit from an understated, well-integrated botanical base.
