Welcome to the Still Magic Podcast, your one-click audio stop for all things gin be it gin making, gin production, gin distilling, gin manufacturing, gin commercialising, gin tasting, gin drinking, gin steeping and everything else in between.
Today's gin adventure will take us on a journey to southeastern Australia, and the New South Wales Victoria border to a region known as the Sapphire coast.
In early 2020, the people of the Sapphire coast were confronted by challenging weather events.
Extreme hot and dry weather conditions were common throughout the country at the time, resulting in significant, large scale bushfires.
No doubt many of you would have seen the extent of this plight and the courage of those charged with containing the fires.
A number of fire-affected businesses in the area sought to rebuild. One of the great initiatives to assist with these efforts was a campaign called "Buy from the Bush"
And it was via this campaign that I purchased a gin that is now the subject of today's podcast.
The Classic is an award-winning 'heavenly gin'. It is the progeny of farm-to-bottle distillers Gavin Hughes and Karen Touchie, produced in limited quantities at their Stony Creek Farm property. The property is located on arguably the longest road in the county - at number 13, 594 Princes Highway; you can't miss it!

The gin itself is not only a classic by name, it is a classic by nature. The botanical listing includes blood orange, grapefruit, lemon, and limes and the classics of course; juniper and coriander. The citrus combines beautifully to reinforce coriander's limonene character.
The ethos of the gin pays homage to a time when resourcefulness - using what was available - was the key to success.
Join myself and my co-contributor @antipodeanharpie as we put The Classic through its paces in today's episode.
