Inspired by the natural, fragrant botanicals found in some of the world’s most iconic perfumes, Geneviève Gin is the ultimate expression of a floral gin.With a subtle nod to the noble botanical that signifies gin, Geneviève is a name derived from ‘genévrier’ the French word for Juniper. Geneviève Gin is an artfully crafted composition of lifted, fragrant aromas and silky complexity.Bass & Flinders Distillery draws on parallels between production techniques of gin and perfume, through their similar process of vapour infusion by distillation and the vast selection of botanicals called upon to create an artistic expression of the perfect blend. Botanicals such as vanilla, florals and musk are classic perfume fragrances which also happen to make a beautifully aromatic gin. A sense of smell is one of the most evocative senses humans possess. The olfactory system can detect millions upon millions of scents, some of which can be extremely distinctive, and can bring back memories of a particular time, place or moment. This 2026 Violet Edition release of Geneviève Gin, celebrates natural botanicals that abound in the French fields of Provence, while capturing the perfumed essence of our own local, native Australian flora, flourishing in the similarly maritime environment of the Mornington Peninsula. Made with handpicked Mornington Peninsula rose petals, fresh lavender and elderflower, which unfold in floral layers, lifted by the musk of native lemon grass. Beneath it all and anchored by juniper, vanilla and orris root weave together classic perfumery with gin distillation for an elegant and highly aromatic finish. For her 2026 return, Geneviève Gin has been given a beautiful purple rinse! It's the delicate infusion of butterfly pea flower that leaves this limited edition with a soft violet blush. 500mL | 40% Alc/Vol Serving Suggestions: Serve our Geneviève Gin with Fever-Tree Elderflower tonic. Garnish with dried rose petals. Or try your hand at a Sweet Geneviève cocktail for a little bit of luxury.
