<p>David Box & John Deeks head to NSW and then into QLD. So firstly they chat by phone - due to that awful virus - with Harriett Messenger. Harriett is part of the family behind Husk Distillers, along with dad Paul and his wife Mandy Perkins. Based in North Tumbulgum, in northern NSW, Husk are most known for their Ink Gin, however rum also inspires the Husk team. Like whisky, rum must be aged before release, so while waiting for maturation, gin can help the cash rolling in and with Ink Gin they hit upon a winner. From there, the guys head across the border to the Gold Coast, specifically Miami, to chat to David Ridden from Granddad Jack's Craft Distillery. We also discuss the business with son Luke, who has taken on distiller duties. </p> <p>For everything gin, as well as a copy of David's book, "Australian Gin" and Aussie Gin tasting packs, Advent Calendars and much more, visit gintonica.com.au.</p> <p>Tell us what you think, so please review this podcast (Apple podcasts) or send any feedback to info@gintonica.com.au.

There are so many pioneers in the Australia liquors landscape. Boxy and Deeksie chat with two. Shaun Byrne was a longtime member of the Gin Palace crew, during which time he cofounded the Maidenii brand of vermouth. Not satisfied with that he cofounded the Marionette brand of liqueurs and went on to author a number of books, including The Book of Vermouth. Next up the guys chat with Ryan Hartshorn, who pioneered Tasmania’s first alcohol distillery to work with sheep’s whey as a ferment raw material to make his gin and global prize winning vodka. No - it doesn’t smell or taste like sheep.

What do wine labels Seppelt Great Western, Jansz, Torbreck and Penfolds have in common? A couple of their winemakers are now distilling gin! Deeksie & Boxy journey down to Tasmania to The Abel Gin Co. for a chat with Kim Seagram (of the famous Canadian Seagram liquor family) and Natalie Fryer (ex-Seppelt GW and Jansz). We then return to the Barossa Valley, this time to the Barossa Distilling Co. with Neil Bullock and distiller Peter Hiscock. Natalie at Abel is, in fact, a South Australian who commuted to Tasmania for years making premium sparkling wine before falling in love with the Apple Isle. She now makes both of her beloved beverages: gin and now her own brand of highly rated sparkling, Bellebonne. Neil and Peter talk of their wine origins. Before turning distiller - Peter was a wine maker with renowned labels like Torbreck and Penfolds. We also learn more about the increasing trend to combine gin with grape juice or wine. Enjoy listening to our passionate and spirited gin distillers.
