Overview
How best to celebrate the impending arrival of gin season? With the launch of what might just be the most fashionable gin going around, of course.
Developed by famed UK bartender Tony Conigliaro (London's Colebrooke Row, Bar Termini and Untitled Bar), the new Goldy Gin is being launched this week in collaboration with two very familiar local names — Icebergs restaurateur and designer Maurice Terzini, and influencer, friend and fellow fashion heavyweight Justin O'Shea.
"The Goldy Gin brand is concerned with a few things; authenticity, value, taste and fun," O'Shea explained. "So all of the partners in this project have to stand for these attributes."
Primed for gin and tonics or classic cocktails, it's a no-fuss creation that's straight to the point, clocking in at 44% alcohol by volume.
With big-name bars like Lou Lou's and Soho House in London, and Paris' Hemingway Bar and Caviar Kaspia already fans, the gin is gearing up for a huge global launch, right here in Australia this week. Terzini and O'Shea will be hosting Goldy tastings at bars across Sydney and Melbourne over the coming days, with a launch party set to take over The Dolphin in Sydney this Thursday, November 16.
