Gin

Traditional juniper base

gin

A clear, strong alcoholic drink flavoured with juniper berries.

In the spirit of making drinks based on culture and heritage, we wanted to make a traditional gin our grandmothers would have been drinking back in their hey-days.

Our gin only uses traditional flavours, and we make two styles - a London dry, and a Scottish dry.

This herbal and dry gin includes hints of Tasmanian pepperberry, lavender, orange and angelica root.
Several close family members of the distillery are members or have close friends who are members of either 5/6 RVR or 8/7 RVR. These military units have existed in one form or another for over 100 years and have contributed to Australia meaningfully and significantly many times.
Sales of our gin products support various regimental associations in Victoria, including the RVRA.

DID YOU KNOW?

Gin's rise to fame can be attributed to the British during the 1700s, a period known as the "gin craze" in London. Back then, gin was both affordable and readily available, making it a favorite among the working class. At its peak, statistics suggest that the average Londoner consumed 14 gallons of gin annually.
The humble Gin and Tonic has been protecting troops from malaria and stomach pains since the 1800s. In fact, it seems to be at the heart of many a battle, whether keeping the soldiers safe from illness or encouraging them into danger with a little extra oomph.
The British Royal Navy played a significant role in the spread of gin globally. British officers received a daily ration of gin, and the mix of gin and lime juice helped combat scurvy among sailors, leading to the term "limey" for British sailors.
Gin enthusiasts have their own day to celebrate this versatile spirit - World Gin Day is celebrated on the second Saturday in June each year, a testament to its enduring popularity and the global community of gin lovers.
The Gin and Tonic was invented in India during the British Raj. British officers mixed gin with tonic water, which contains quinine, to make the bitter medicine (intended to prevent malaria) more palatable.
