Wild Plum Gin (700 ml) [2020 Vintage]
Country of origin: Australia Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 39% Bottle size: 700 ml
Australia's most awarded flavoured gin.
Made with native Davidson plums and Sloe berries, this gin has been designed to have a warm and earthy backbone to support these unique Australian flavours. With its tart finish coming from the Davidson plums, you’ll also discover a cozy sweetness thanks to banksia honey and sloe berries, all perfectly balanced out with robust citrus notes.
The West Winds Wild Plum releases have become Australia’s most awarded flavoured gin and the 2020 release is no exception – this is some of the finest liquid using native flavours alongside traditional gin aromas.
Serving Suggestions:
- With so much character, the 2020 vintage tastes great to sip as is
- Serve long with soda or tonic and garnish with an orange wedge for a simple refresher
- Try in a cocktail for a on-tradfitional twist, such as a Negroni

The Tailor Made Spirits Company: The West Winds Gins were created by four intrepid and adventurous Aussies who wanted to realise a vision – to produce distinctive Australian gin that would rival the best in the world. They wanted to create Damn Fine Gin, from Australia.
The journey began in a bar in Balaclava in suburban Melbourne in 2010 when 2005 42BELOW World Cocktail Champion Jason Chan took Paul White (engineer, and distiller), Jeremy Spencer (spirits industry identity), and James Clarke (wine industry expert) through a line-up of gins as he espoused his vision: two gins, both savoury in character, one at 40% incorporating toasted Australian wattle seed and one at 50% incorporating native Australian bush tomato.
Just over a year later in early 2011, Tailor Made released the two artisan gins into the market. The vision had come to fruition. The Sabre, a London Dry Gin, at 40% with toasted wattle seed and The Cutlass, the stronger 50% with kutjera (native bush tomato) were ready for consumption.
The Cutlass and The Sabre were both submitted to the 2011 San Francisco International Spirits Competition, taking Double Gold and Gold awards respectively. With this The West Winds Gins were launched to an appreciative international crowd who were embracing the resurgence and revival of artisanal distilling.
The prestigious ‘Double Gold’ for The Cutlass was a first for an Australian gin producer and was not a fluke. Both The Cutlass and The Sabre have gone on to reap other global awards including a second Double Gold for The Cutlass after the Company’s second entry in the San Francisco Competition again in 2013.
The West Winds Gins are unashamedly different and uniquely Australian. Inspired by seafarers, distilled by craftsmen, The West Winds Gins are Damn Fine Gins, from Australia.
