42% ABV · 700mlDistilled in Landsborough QLDAward-winning small batch

Some gins arrive announcing themselves. Silent Nod is the other kind: the one a bartender pours you without a word because they already know it is the right call. It is the quietest bottle in The Rare Orchid Distilling Co. range, and the one that tends to convert people who thought they had gin worked out.

Four botanicals carry it. Finger lime brings the bright native citrus burst that grows well an hour up the road. Lemongrass adds a fragrant, almost tropical lift. Pink ginger warms the middle without heat. Macadamia, grown across this part of Queensland, rounds everything off with a silky, creamy weight that makes the finish feel longer than it has any right to be. Nothing in it fights anything else, which is the entire point.

Silent Nod Contemporary Gin is distilled, bottled and labelled by hand at The Rare Orchid Distilling Co., an award-winning family distillery in Landsborough on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. 700ml.

In the glass

Tasting notes


Nose

fragrant lemongrass over sharp finger lime.

Palate

silky and rounded, macadamia softness carrying gentle pink ginger warmth.

Finish

long, quiet and clean, the citrus returning last.

The ritual

The perfect serve


Four steps, no shortcuts. The same pour we teach at the tasting bench.

Ice

Clear ice if you have it. This gin shows its detail in a clean glass.

Gin

Thirty millilitres of Silent Nod. Give it a moment before the tonic.

Tonic

A light, neutral tonic. Anything heavily flavoured talks over the macadamia.

Lime

A thin wheel of lime, or nothing at all. The nod is silent for a reason.
