The Kindred Spirit Episode 7
I had the pleasure of interviewing celebrated wine-maker and distiller Andrew Marks from The Melbourne Gin Company for this week's episode of The Kindred Spirit Podcast . Available for download now!

My guest on The Kindred Spirit podcast is Fever-Tree Australia's Brand Ambassador, Trish Brew. We chat about her hospo career, working at the iconic Gin Palace in Melbourne and her thoughts on the growth of the Australian Distilling Industry!

Such a joy to chat with renowned spirits writer Dave Broom (@davewasabi) Dave is author The World Atlas of Whisky, and one of my favourite books : The Gin Manual. His most recent book is A Sense of Place, a journey around Scotland’ s whisky. Check out The Amber Light, a documentary that shows Dave’s quest to gain a deeper understanding of whisky and his new project - nine bottlings in an ongoing series inspired by William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Macbeth! Who knew we both love Shady Pines Saloon !

Seven Seasons Spirits was founded by Larrakia man (and former AFL player) Daniel Motlop, maker of the deliciously zesty Green Ant gin. This beautiful film shows the deep connection to Country and the Larrakia people that are at the heart of every spirit Daniel makes - and is also making me want to go North immediately! Each native ingredient used by Seven Seasons is gathered by Aboriginal harvesters, ensuring sustainability and supporting local communities economically. Buying a bottle of Seven Seasons Spirits gin really is supporting local. Give them a follow on Facebook and Insta! #supportingaustraliandistillers #alwayswasalwayswillbe #indigenousdistillers
