According to Four Pillars, Bloody Shiraz Gin is "comparable to traditional sloe gin but with a few notable Aussie differences." The product boasts an ABV of 37.8% and is unfiltered and unfined, which only adds interest to the flavor profile of the finished spirit. Some of the key notes of the gin spirit are juniper, [white pepper, dark berries and spices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukiyo-yuzu-gin). As well as having a well-balanced taste that's sweet with tannins at the finish that likens it to red wine, the unconventional gin spirit boasts a distinctly deep color to match. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wine-flavored Spirits:** The growing interest in unique flavor combinations presents an opportunity for distillers to cater to consumers seeking new sensory experiences. - **Unconventional Gin:** Innovation in the gin market through the incorporation of unusual ingredients and flavor profiles presents distillers with an opportunity to differentiate their products. - **Regional Ingredient Sourcing:** Using locally sourced ingredients in spirits production can be utilized as a selling point to consumers interested in supporting regional businesses and environmental sustainability. ### Who This Affects Most - **Distillery:** Within the spirits industry, innovative gin producers leveraging unique flavor combinations and locally sourced ingredients can stand out in a crowded market. - **Wine:** Collaborations between the wine and spirits industries can leverage shared knowledge of flavor profiles and production techniques to create new products with broad appeal. - **Hospitality/food and Beverage:** Partnering with local distilleries to curate creative cocktail menus can be used by bars, restaurants and hotels to set themselves apart in the competitive hospitality industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Turkish-Inspired Pink Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arbory-afloat.md) - [Wine-Inspired Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-gin-13.md) - [Citrusy Canned Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-pillars-rare-dry-gin-tonic.md) - [Buttery Croissant Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-gin.md) - [Bacon-Horseradish Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-gin-spirit.md) - [Strawberry-Flavored Pink Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/four-peel-strawberry-gin.md) - [Fat-Washed Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wa-gyn.md) - [Five-Berry Gin Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/directors-cut-no-5.md) - [Fruity Eye-Catching Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beefeater-rhubarb-cranberry.md)
