Description

While our whiskies aim to transport you to the backwoods of Yackandandah, our gin invites you to take a walk in the Victorian High Country.

To create this gin we apply two distillation methods. We macerate and boil the traditional botanicals while using the vapour-infused method for the Australian botanicals. This helps to balance a traditional gin base with the intensity of local botanical flavours.

This unique Australian gin was recently recognised on the world stage, receiving a silver medal at the prestigious London Spirits Competition 2021.

We serve it with a dry tonic or soda, a sprig of rosemary and a sprinkle of juniper berries. We'd love to hear how you enjoy it too!

Traditional Botanicals:
Juniper, coriander, cardamom, angelica root, orris root

Australian Botanicals:
Pepper berry, strawberry gum, peppermint gum, wattle seed, lemon myrtle

Our Promise

Each one of our bottles is taste-tested and hand-chosen by some of the best palates in the southern hemisphere. Only once a bottle has been deemed crème de la crème, do we add it to our catalog. Finding the perfect bottle isn't always easy - but with us, it is.
