St. Laurent Gin 43% 700ml
$97.00
The Gin St. Laurent is a breath of sea air laden with salt, powerful herbaceous and floral notes interspersed with a pine-wood aroma reminiscent of Quebec's boreal forest. A complex gin resulting from an improbable union of aromatics from the four corners of the globe and algae of the St. Lawrence.
A first herbaceous and floral approach gives way to notes of pinewood followed by pastry flavours, citrus scents and a peppery hint. The laminar alga, also called Neptune's harness, gives the Gin St. Laurent its characteristic greenish colour and a soft mineral and slightly iodised finish.

Tiny Bear The Doctor 42% 700ml

Tiny Bear The Doctor:
"Alcohol and medicine have a long and proud history. It has been used as everything from a digestive to a disinfectant. Dogs bearing tiny casks of booze were used to rescue travellers from the threat of avalanche in the Swiss Alps, while a shot of gin was known to ward off the plague in Medieval times. Indeed, where would the British Empire have been without gin around to make their anti-malaria tonic drinkable? In 'the DOCTOR' we believe we continued in that grand tradition of people ‘exaggerating’ the medicinal powers of alcohol. This product is both refreshing and invigorating, just want the doctor ordered and hey it's made from kale too, so you know it has to be good for you!

Prohibition Gin Mini 42% 100ml
$25.00
Prohibition Gin is the culmination of a vision to recreate the genuine spirit of clandestine heritage, with contemporary craftsmanship and top notch botanical ingredients. Our unique flavour story starts with wormwood, a banned substance in prohibition era, better known for creating absinthe. This with a tinge of blood… Blood orange and ruby red grapefruit delivers a fresh citrus edge, taking juniper, coriander and ginger root on a journey away from the standard. We bring in an Australian native lemon myrtle and subtle notes of green tea, vanilla and lavender to soften the finish and draw out flavour depth on the palate. The result is a sophisticated, deep flavour with a fresh citrus note and warm peppery finish.

The stand-out flavours of juniper and coriander seed, star anise and vanilla, lemon myrtle and strawberry gum, lemon and rosemary are ironically making Gin For Tonic a well known addition to other creations such as The Negroni.

Batches of 200
Product of Hobart, Australia
The fresh spirit of Tasmania’s ancient Huon Pine, iridescent abalone shell and pristine water. A nod to a London Dry, our Dry Gin features the four key botanicals of sage, abalone shell, Huon Pine needles and red grapefruit. Fresh sage is grown in our distillery garden and we source the shell whilst on family abalone dives. Once cleaned, the shell is dried and broken into tiny pieces to infuse in the gin. Abalone shell, used in Chinese medicine, is a calcium carbonate to neutralise the acids and adds a slight salinity. Huon Pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) is a species of conifer native to Tasmania. It is found by the edge of rivers and is an incredibly slow growing, revered local timber. The needles provide pine notes that differ to juniper and add to the complexity of the dryness.
Melbourne Gin Company Dry Gin 42% 700ml
$85.00
Melbourne Gin Company Dry Gin 42% 700ml:
The Melbourne Gin Company, the latest project from winemaker Andrew Marks, began with this question:
How do you create a gin that encapsulates a city?
Starting with a love of gin and stovetop experiments, Andrew set out to create a gin that would live up to its name. This led to a journey into the world of alchemy and craft distilling, with a good deal of sampling along the way.
Eleven botanicals, both local and exotic, are each individually extracted, distilled and then blended to create a well-rounded, smooth and slightly surprising gin.
Building on the classic foundations of juniper berries and coriander seed, the grapefruit peel and Rosemary hail from the garden at Gembrook Hill Vineyard in the Yarra Valley, where the gin is made.
The other locals are macadamia, sandalwood, honey lemon myrtle and organic navel orange.
Bringing Melbourne’s cosmopolitan flavour to the mix are the exotics: angelica root, orris root and cassia bark.
The final component is water – rainwater from Gembrook in the Yarra Ranges, 60km from Melbourne, with a purity that allows the botanicals to shine through.
Andrew distills each botanical individually in an alembic copper-pot still, balancing seasonal differences in the ingredients with a winemaker’s sensibility.
The final product retains this artisan approach.
The result is a unique take on the essence of Melbourne.
The Melbourne Gin Company is based at Gembrook overlooking the Gembrook Hill vineyard in the Yarra Valley, Victoria.
Perfect for a Gin and Tonic!

Melbourne Gin Company Single Shot 47.4% 700ml
Fascinated as we are with the actual crafting of products, it made sense to explore sense to explore different techniques for making Gin. Very early on we knew that this would unlock the key for any new MGC gin. It took 5 years of distillation to get it right in just one single shot.
It is a very simple idea, to distill all the botanical together in a single shot rather than the winemaking approach for the Dry Gin. Simple but Complicated. We have spent the last 5 years conducting trails perfecting our techniques and playing with different botanical's.
We wanted a Single Shot to taste the Juniper, We wanted it to taste different to our Dry Gin, We wanted it to taste amazing. We sought intensity, texture and persistence of flavor, and now, we think we have achieved these goals.

Prohibition Navy Strength Gin 58% 500ml
$99.00
This gin compliments the rough seas, celebrating our juniper-based spirit’s naval heritage. A nose of salty ocean breeze gives way to notes of native lime interplayed by seagrass.
A combination of juniper distilled through maceration and vapour infusion creates a melody of depth and mouthfeel. Sweetness and elevated texture are provided by macadamia and vanilla. The lifted finish is stormed by ginger, grapefruit peel and salt as the drink takes sail, three sheets to the wind.
St. Laurent Vieux Gin (Seaweed Laminaria) 47% 700ml
$114.00
Every month, a tiny portion of St. Laurent Gin production goes to old barrels of whiskey. Thus, after a rest of more than one year in oak barrels, our famous Gin infused with seaweed becomes the St. Laurent Vieux Gin.
A soft and aromatic approach: the juniper expresses itself without astringency, gently, then gives way to long notes of grass, pepper and candied citrus. A long woody finish, slightly saline, signature of the seaweed infusion.

Tiny Bear The Sailor:
Have you ever wondered what Navy strength actually means? And what's it got to do with Gin?
Sit down and pour yourself a glass my friend and wonder no longer.
We enter the Royal British Navy, an organisation that liked their gin very boozy indeed. They found that if you mix a 'Navy' strength gin, around 57-58% with gunpowder [as you do when you're stuck on a boat for months on end with very little entertainment] - it still ignites if it has enough alcohol in it. "Proof" it's good, really.
Bit of food for thought while you enjoy this slow sipper.

Brocken Spectre Summer Gin 42% 500ml
$95.70
Brocken Spectre 'Summer Gin' 42% 500ml: "I really thought I had an original idea, alas, no. Saffron gin has been done before in France. I think the Brocken Specter Summer Gin is the first Australian saffron gin; we use 100% Tasmanian grown saffron and never add any coloring. For the base we combine 16 aromatics including juniper, coriander seed, lemon myrtle, strawberry gum, star anise and vanilla bean. This mix is added to a grape based spirit and left over night. This spirit/aromatic base re-distilled, after; at full strength we add the saffron. After a few days the saffron stamens are completely white and simply strained out. The gin is gluten free, vegan and unfiltered. Try a summer gin with good tonic, fresh chilies and thyme!" For more Gin, Click HERE
