Episode 18
Welcome to the Still Magic Podcast, your one-click audio stop for all things gin be it gin making, gin production, gin distilling, gin manufacturing, gin commercialising, gin tasting, gin drinking, gin steeping and everything else in between.
Hailing from Australian state of Victoria, this gin reflects that hip urban vibe that seems to punctuate Melbourne life.
Arts, cuisine, weather for all occasions on any given day, Melbourne is arguably best known as the sporting capital of Australia.
Various Victorian governments have taken this mantle so seriously that there are now public holidays to commemorate 2 sporting events; the Melbourne Cup horse race on the first Tuesday in November, and the Friday before the Australian Football League’s championship decider.
Suffice to say, Victoria also has a welter of committed gin makers, who like their sporting colleagues, rarely take their eyes off the prize.

Patient Wolf is a Melbourne Dry Gin with the classics. Juniper, coriander, orris root and angelica root, cardamom, cubeb pepper, and an unorthodox botanical that I encounter for the first time.
Made by Hand. Made with Purpose. Made in Australia
