Little Juniper Rare Plum Gin with Davidson Plum

Davidson Plum Gin is one of Australia’s most unique spirits, offering an unparalleled flavour experience that embodies both the rugged and refined nature of its native fruit. Little Juniper’s Rare Plum Gin is crafted with the indigenous Davidson plum, giving it a rich and complex profile that captures the essence of the Australian rainforest.

Why Davidson Plum?

Davidson’s plum is an ancient species native to Australia’s tropical rainforests, specifically found in New South Wales and Queensland. With its vibrant deep purple skin and juicy flesh, Davidson’s plum isn’t just visually captivating—it also brings a unique taste profile that’s unlike any other plum. Unlike European plums, Davidson’s plum has a dark deep purple peel and a soft, juicy flesh, creating a distinct contrast in texture and flavour.

This fruit is rich in antioxidants, with levels comparable to blueberries, making it a popular choice for health-conscious connoisseurs. Its distinctive taste, a blend of tartness, warmth, and natural sweetness, gives Davidson Plum Gin its renowned tangy, slightly sweet, and dry finish, with a zesty zing on the palate.
