Gin Lovers Unite at Quincy Melbourne
With the catchcry, ‘Let the fun be-gin’, the creative minds behind the quirky Quincy Hotel Melbourne and brand-new Salted Egg restaurant have announced a partnership made in gin heaven.
Enter KOL Gin.
It’s no secret that Melbournites love to shop local, so Quincy Melbourne, has teamed with local distillers, Antagonist Spirits, to create a full sensory experience – an exclusive gin that will be launched during a three-course dinner at Salted Egg in the city’s newest entertainment precinct.
Devised and distilled in Brunswick using a wheat base produced by Australian farmers, the gin exhibits a SE Asian flavour profile - a nod to Quincy’s Singaporean heritage and the colourful style of the brand.
Gin lovers can expect a drink that’s bright, fragrant, easy drinking and delicious with a blend of softer botanicals – Lotus Flower, Lemon Myrtle, Orris Root, Angelica, Coriander Seed, Calamus Root, Cassia Bark and Orange peels – and a stronger juniper backing.
“Just like wine, gin tends to be able to display a ‘sense of place and attitude’ ultimately providing consumers with a story to experience along with a great product,” says Chef Adam Woodfield.
He and his talented team have crafted a mouth-watering Asian-inspired menu to show the gin to its best advantage and will unveil it during a three-course dinner on June 11 at Salted Egg, on level 1 of the Quincy hotel.
According to the Chief Antagonist, Darren Ivey, the collaboration with Quincy was born out of a shared passion for gin and a desire for local businesses to support each other during the pandemic.
“We saw an amazing opportunity to create a drink inspired by the venue and the atmosphere,” he said. “So, we crafted a gin to provide a seamless fit between atmosphere, views, flavours, food and drink.
“Quite simply, the only way to taste the gin is to enjoy it in the place it was made to be enjoyed."
Tickets to the tasting and dinner are priced at $95 per person. Guests will enjoy a G&T on arrival followed by a tasting of local Antagonist gins, plus a three-course dinner experience perfectly matched with gin cocktails. Doors open from 6pm. Purchase tickets here.
