Western Queensland Spirit Shines at the Australian Gin Awards
We're super excited to launch Western Queensland's first craft distillery. On the doorstep of the Outback, our founders, Michael and Will have received all our regulatory approvals and are almost ready to launch. Stay tuned for more sneak peaks over the coming weeks as we get ready to launch something truly special.  Thank you for all the support so far - you know who you are.
Our Co-Founder and Master Distiller, Michael has been doing some final preparations for our Sunday gin run. Our ethos is authenticity to place, sourcing as many botanicals as we can from the local region. From the property, we use river mint, saltbush, geraldton wax, lemon scented gum and bottle brush as core botanicals. It's all about featuring the flavours of Western Queensland.
Our Co-Founder, Will is the man with the ideas and is busy getting things ready for us to go on sale soon. Most importantly, Will is making sure our distillery dogs, Sparty and Bungy will be ready to welcome you to the cellar door in 2023.
