Golden Hour: Gidley Dry Gin – The Perfect Autumn Pour – King Island Distillery Bass Strait

As autumn deepens, there’s a sense of richness in the air—cooler evenings, golden light, and moments that invite reflection. King Island Distillery’s Gidley Dry Gin is the perfect spirit to mark the season. Crafted with a blend of classic botanicals and balanced with distinctly Australian flavours - it’s a gin that brings together tradition and innovation.

Gidley Dry Gin is elegant, complex, and ultra-premium—an expression of craftsmanship and place that suits the cooler months. Its bright citrus notes lead the way, giving way to rich, resinous juniper and warm spice. A creamy mouthfeel carries earthy undertones through to a lingering, peppery finish.

Whether enjoyed fireside or as an aperitif as the golden hour light fades, Gidley Dry Gin elevates autumn drinking with layered, sophisticated flavour.

Three Refined Autumn Serves: Gidley Gin & Tonic Pairings

1. Citrus & Thyme G&T

• Mixer: Mediterranean tonic

• Garnish: Dehydrated orange slice and fresh thyme sprig

• Why it works: The citrus zest botanicals are lifted by the orange, while thyme amplifies the herbal backbone and pepper berries subtle warmth.

2. Pink Grapefruit & Rosemary G&T

• Mixer: Crisp classic tonic

• Garnish: Wedge of pink grapefruit and rosemary sprig

• Why it works: Grapefruit’s bittersweet flavour enhances the Kakadu plum’s tang, while rosemary pairs beautifully with the gin’s savoury, earthy complexity.

3. Lemon Peel & Juniper G&T

• Mixer: Dry tonic water

• Garnish: Strip of lemon peel and crushed juniper berries

• Why it works: Clean and classic. Lemon peel highlights the gin’s bright opening, and juniper deepens the resinous character for a true dry gin experience.
