Giniversity Black Truffle Gin is a handcrafted, small-batch gin that stands out for its innovative use of premium Australian black truffles. It aims to offer a sophisticated and subtly earthy take on gin, appealing to both gin enthusiasts and those who appreciate gourmet flavours. The star of this gin is the black truffle, specifically sourced from Manjimup in Western Australia. Manjimup is renowned for its ideal climate and rich soils for growing high-quality black truffles. While not explicitly listed for this specific gin in all sources, Giniversity gins typically feature a selection of individually distilled botanicals, often including juniper as the predominant flavour, alongside local botanicals that reflect the Margaret River region. Giniversity gins are typically made using a grape-based neutral spirit, which contributes to a very clean and smooth base. Bottled at 40% alc/vol.

Our Tasting Notes

Giniversity Black Truffle Gin is celebrated for its subtle yet distinct earthy truffle aroma and a luxurious finish.

Nose: Exudes subtle and enticing earthy aromas of black truffle, often with hints of honey and a touch of saltiness. It’s sophisticated and intriguing, blending the gin’s botanicals with the distinctive truffle.

Palate: On the palate, a rich, velvety, and luxurious mouthfeel. The truffle flavour is present but integrated, not overpowering, allowing classic gin notes to still come through. Hints of honeyed sweetness and a clean, subtle spice (possibly from juniper or other botanicals) complement the earthy truffle.

Finish: A rich, smooth, and very luxurious finish that lingers with the elegant essence of truffle.
