Now, you can taste lemon myrtle on a Goan beach, or a gin-and-tonic with cardamom twist on the Australian shore. The love of a good gin has created a cross-continental collaboration that has reaped two limited-edition spirits.
The founders of Goa-based Third Eye Distillery — Rahul Mehra, Sakshi Saigal and Vidur Gupta — met Australia’s Four Pillars Distillery team at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London, when the former’s flagship gin, Stranger & Sons, scored an impressive 98/100. It was their second meeting, after an evening discussing gins at Bar Convent Berlin in 2019. Meanwhile, Cameron Mackenzie, Stuart Gregor and Matt Jones of the Yarra Valley distillery were at the ceremony to accept the trophy for the International Gin Distillery of the Year.
