Clean Oak Barrel Aged Gin represents a distinctly Australian approach to classic gin craftsmanship. Rested in oak to develop subtle depth, this expression marries the clarity of traditional juniper and cardamom with the bright, distinctive character of lemon myrtle and pepperberry—native botanicals that speak to Beechworth's unique terroir. The result is a gin of refined complexity: familiar yet unmistakably of place.

🍸 How to Enjoy

Best served over premium ice in a crystal gin glass with a generous splash of quality tonic water and a lemon myrtle leaf or twist of lemon. The oak and native botanicals also shine in a negroni, where their complexity deepens beautifully.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Crisp juniper and cardamom lead, with bright lemon myrtle adding citrus lift and delicate florality. Cassia root introduces warmth beneath, while pepperberry's subtle spice and the gentle vanilla-oak undertones from barrel aging create an inviting, layered bouquet.

Palate

The arrival is clean and juniper-forward, with cardamom warmth blooming across the mid-palate. Lemon myrtle provides vibrant citrus notes, while pepperberry adds a gentle heat. Oak aging softens the edges, delivering a silky texture with lingering spice and complexity.

Finish

Warm, dry and enduring. Lemon myrtle and pepperberry fade gracefully, leaving a subtle oak influence and a whisper of spice that invites another sip.

From the Still House

Botanicals are macerated separately to extract distinctive character before blending with grain neutral spirit. The finished gin is then rested in oak to marry the flavours and add subtle complexity without overwhelming the native botanicals.

Botanical Sources

Juniper and cardamom sourced from trusted international suppliers; lemon myrtle, pepperberry, and cassia root prioritise Australian native and regional sources where possible, supporting local growers and reflecting the character of the Victorian landscape.
