If you were to make a gin to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Canberra Raiders what botanicals would you want to include? A drop of Mal Meninga's sweat? A blade of grass from Canberra Stadium? A hair off the chin of Victor the Viking? A little spice from a post-game press conference courtesy of coach Ricky Stuart?
When Underground Spirits joined forces with the Raiders to produce a gin that told the rugby league club's history some interesting conversations were had, admits chief executive officer Claudia Roughley, but she will neither confirm nor deny that the story of the gin goes that deep.
