Barking Owl's Bathtub Gin is a masterclass in botanical balance, anchored by a robust juniper foundation while celebrating the native Australian flavours that define our spirit. Native pepperberry and lemon myrtle provide a distinctive regional signature, layered beneath traditional gin botanicals including cardamom, coriander and cassia root. Smooth, approachable and unapologetically Australian, this is gin with sense of place.

🍸 How to Enjoy

Serve over a large ice cube in a chilled copa glass with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon peel and a sprig of lemon myrtle, topped with premium tonic water. The native botanicals shine brightest when the spirit is allowed to open gently over ice.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright juniper leads, quickly followed by warm spice notes from cardamom and coriander. Native pepperberry and lemon myrtle emerge on the second wave, with citrus peel brightness and subtle aniseed undertones from liquorice and angelica root creating a complex, inviting bouquet.

Palate

Clean arrival with pronounced juniper and spice, followed by a mid-palate of sweet citrus and native pepperberry heat. The texture is silky and warming, with lemon myrtle adding a distinctive peppery-floral quality that sits beautifully alongside the spirit's natural sweetness.

Finish

A lingering warmth of spice and subtle pepperberry lingers pleasantly, with bright citrus notes fading gracefully into a dry, clean conclusion.

From the Still House

Crafted through maceration of all botanicals into a wheat-rye vodka base, then carefully distilled to preserve the delicate native Australian flavours while maintaining the structure and clarity essential to fine gin.

Botanical Sources

We source juniper and traditional gin botanicals from trusted European suppliers, while our native Australian botanicals—pepperberry, lemon myrtle and fresh citrus—are carefully selected from sustainable regional growers who share our commitment to quality and terroir.
