We all love a wee dram at Christmas time and if you’re wondering what tipple to tempt tastebuds with, we have four you need to sample with family and friends.
Award-winning distillery Underground Spirits Australia has collaborated with three NRL clubs to create unique flavours that reflect the unique essence of each of the teams and their communities - say cheers to Panthers Three Peat Caramel Vodka, Parramatta Eels Fruit Pickers Gin and West Tigers 25th Anniversary Gin.
Based in Canberra and well known for its premium vodka and craft gins made from high-quality local ingredients, including pristine water from the Snowy Mountains, Underground has developed an innovative, sub-micron cryofiltration process that is a hallmark of its spirits as it eliminates impurities to create the ultimate smooth finish.
A perfect Christmas gift, the NRL range represents the combination of years of dedication and loyalty for avid fans.
The Panthers Three Peat Caramel Vodka was released straight after the club’s historic NRL three-peat this year. Much like the Panther – stealthy and graceful, yet fiercely determined - this triple caramel delight embodies the essence of sweet victory and the taste of triumph with every sip a journey through the Panthers’ incredible rise to glory. RRP $100.
The Parramatta Eels Fruit Pickers Gin is a tribute to a club that captures the heart and soul of the suburb and community and is a perfect sideline sipper that is as dynamic as the Eels’ game. A burst of citrus and floral notes greets the senses which is balanced by gritty earthiness in the mix. It’s a taste journey with magnolia, sweet quandong and sunrise lime taking the lead and of course, juniper the hard-hitting classic. RRP $100.
West Tigers 25th Anniversary Gin is a liquid celebration and a jubilant elixir to celebrate the club’s 25 years in the NRL. It’s a strategic embrace of identity and a tribute to the loyal fans who have been the heartbeat of the club for a quarter of a century; crafted to perfection, with vibrant notes of fresh citrus, fig, granadilla and tiger jaw succulent, it will score big points with gin enthusiasts. RRP $100.
