Local gin Ink Sloe and Berry from Husk Distillery sells out in six minutes

A Tweed distillery renowned for their colour-changing liquor has sold out of their newest gin in record time — but there’s a chance you could still score some. Here’s how.

SIX minutes. That’s all it took for the wildly popular Husk Distillers to sell out of their new product, Ink Sloe & Berry Gin.

The Tumbulgum based distiller well known for its rums and original Ink Gin, released the new product for sale online this morning, taking just six minutes to sell out of the online allocation.

“For anyone who missed out, fear not.

“We have stock still at our cellar door, and stock will be winging its way to select bars, bottle shops and Dan Murphy’s stores in the coming weeks.

“The next release will be out in September … so stay tuned.”

Bottles are expected to land in Dan Murphy’s and select bottle shops from tomorrow and Husk Distillers are expected to sell out of the product after their birthday celebration this weekend.

Earlier this week Head Distiller Quentin Brival said the new product starts with a simple, traditional recipe which is distilled with juniper berry, coriander seeds, angelica root and liquorice.

“We then infuse the gin with sloes, plums and berries — the result is a rich liqueur style gin, smooth, full of botanicals but not as strong as regular gin,” he said.
