Distillers Cut is a gin that bridges classical tradition with Australian terroir. Built on a foundation of juniper, coriander and orris root, it's elevated by lemon myrtle, finger lime and strawberry gum—native botanicals that bring brightness and subtle earthiness. A spirit that rewards slow sipping and celebrates the distinctive character of the Australian bush.

🍸 How to Enjoy

Best served over a large ice cube in a balloon glass with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a delicate lemon myrtle leaf. Alternatively, enjoy neat at room temperature to fully appreciate the complexity of the native botanicals.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright juniper and coriander lead, followed by citrus complexity from fresh lemon and lime peel. Lemon myrtle adds a distinctive herbal brightness, with deeper notes of angelica root and a whisper of pine needles underneath.

Palate

Clean arrival with juniper presence, softened by cardamom and cassia root warmth. Mid-palate develops citrus tension from finger lime and dried citrus peels, balanced against liquorice and orris root sweetness. Texture is smooth and layered, with native botanicals adding subtle spice and floral notes.

Finish

Dry and persistent, with lingering juniper and a delicate herbal fade. The native botanicals—particularly lemon myrtle and strawberry gum—leave a distinctive, elegant impression.

From the Still House

All botanicals are macerated into the barley rye vodka base to maximize flavour extraction and integration. The result is a cohesive gin where native and classical botanicals complement rather than compete.

Botanical Sources

We source juniper, coriander and traditional gin botanicals from trusted suppliers, while lemon myrtle, finger lime, strawberry gum and quandong are carefully foraged or sourced from native Australian growers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability.
