About making Gin

Freidrich

Hello,

I am a French guy who works in a distillery for few month. I will try to make Gin with mixing different botanicals with different ratio after distilling them one by one. The problem is, I want to know if it's possible to get Australian native botanicals which have the same flavour as:

• Sweet Vernal, which have more a grassy character
• Brown Boronia, which can have a floral and fruit flavour

Thanks for your attention

Sweet Vernal = Buffalo Grass (Aussie pest/ noxious plant) -> Green/ White Tea/ Warragal Greens/ Lemongrass

Brown Boronia = Lemon/ Citrus Scent -> Lemon Myrtle/ Finger Limes / Quandong / Davidson Plum

Sweet Vernal contains coumarin, no?

Is it recognized as safe for use in foods on Australia?

Doubt it. We go through a fair bit of zubrowka.
King island might have a bit.
