Ink Dry Gin

Ink Dry Gin is a vibrant and innovative Australian spirit that has captured the world’s attention with its natural colour-changing magic. Crafted with 13 organic botanicals including native lemon myrtle, Tasmanian pepper berry, and freshly peeled sweet orange, Ink Gin’s defining character comes from its infusion with butterfly pea flower. This post-distillation touch gives it a striking indigo hue that turns blush pink with tonic or citrus — a truly unique gin experience that is as beautiful as it is delicious.

Tasting Notes & Experience

On the nose, bright citrus from lemon myrtle and sweet orange zest with a gentle floral lift. The palate is smooth and layered, combining piney juniper, warm spice from pepper berry, and subtle herbal notes. A delicate green-tea-like astringency from butterfly pea flower gives balance, leading into a crisp, refreshing finish. Add tonic or citrus and watch the colour bloom into a mesmerising blush pink.

Craftsmanship & Story

Created by Husk Distillers in northern New South Wales, Ink Gin was born in 2015 after three years of experimentation. It is crafted in small batches with 13 carefully selected botanicals, blending traditional gin roots with native Australian ingredients. After distillation, Ink Gin undergoes a unique post-distillation infusion with butterfly pea flower — a natural, pH-sensitive botanical that gives the gin its indigo colour and delicate floral nuance. This blend of science and artistry transformed Ink Gin into Australia’s first colour-changing gin, redefining the boundaries of the category.

Special Features

The magic of Ink Gin lies in its butterfly pea flower infusion, which changes colour when tonic or citrus is added. This striking transformation makes it a show-stopper at any gathering. Beyond its visual appeal, Ink Gin is crafted with a focus on purity and natural expression — free from additives, sugars, or artificial colours. Its elegant bottle design and vibrant spirit have made it a cult favourite both in Australia and abroad.
