Small Batch Quality Spirits
Welcome to Otways Distillery – Organic Gin & Small Batch Spirits from the Great Ocean Road
Discover the true essence of the Otways with our award-worthy, organic small-batch gin and artisan spirits, handcrafted in the hinterland near Apollo Bay along the iconic Great Ocean Road.
At Otways Distillery, we proudly collaborate with local farmers, growers, and artisans to source native botanicals and seasonal produce from the region. Many of our ingredients are foraged from the lush Otway rainforest, creating distinctive, Australian-made spirits that reflect the purity and character of the land.
Every bottle is carefully crafted to capture the flavours of the Otways—fresh, vibrant, and uniquely local. From premium craft gin to small batch vodka and liqueurs, our range celebrates sustainability, quality, and the people behind the produce.

Our Dog Lovers Gin is a premium, small-batch spirit crafted as an Australian twist on a classic London Dry Gin. Distilled with care in the Otways, it features a delicate balance of native botanicals including pepperberry, lemon myrtle, and fresh orange, creating a vibrant and refreshing gin that’s incredibly easy to drink.
This release is deeply personal. It’s dedicated to the 40+ dogs I’ve had the privilege of knowing, rescuing, fostering, and loving over the years. Though many have crossed the rainbow bridge, they are never forgotten – always loved and forever in my heart.
Serve this gin chilled over ice, or pair it with a quality tonic or soda water for a crisp, uplifting drink. Better yet, share it in honour of the dogs who have brought joy and unconditional love to your life.
💛 $5 from every bottle supports One at a Time Pet Rescue, helping animals in need find safe, loving homes.

The Forrest Gin is the first product I’ve made for the Otways Distillery. I think it smells and tastes of the place I am lucky enough to call home. Forrest, Otways, Victoria.
Using Lemons, River Mint, Rosemary out of my own garden and lemon gum from my friends farm I wanted to capture and showcase the essence of our beautiful natives and quality farmed foods in the Otways.
It’s no secret that I love to drink laugh and share… I dedicate my first batch of gin to my old friend Martin who taught me how to live. Work hard and make the most of what you have and share and enjoy!
I hope you share and enjoy this with the ones you love!

This Blood Orangecello is the sister to the famous Otways Limoncello. It has a fresh orange taste with some sweetness and is perfect served over ice with some mint to finish.
It’s no secret that i love to drink, laugh and share with others… I dedicate this bottle to my sister Felicia who has taught me to be brave and talk when you are facing challenges in some of life’s chapters. Let’s be honest we are all just trying our best… and it’s a balancing act at times!
I have many dear friends who are like sisters to me, but in the end there is only one sister.
I hope you share and enjoy this Blood Orangecello with your family and your friends who are like family!
This Vodka is the first vodka I’ve made for the Otways Distillery. Vodka is my favourite drink.
Using lemon, orange and lime from the Otways. It’s fresh and tasty so all you have to do is add soda water.
Every farm has a dog or two in the otways. This Citrus vodka is dedicated to my best dog Arty. He was a rescue dog that i got when he 18 and lived until 22. There will never be another dog like that for me. He was smart, cute, funny and always had my back until the end. He loved living in Forrest and walking in the bush and running around friends farms. He would always sit patiently and wait for me to finish my vodka to go home.
I hope you share this vodka with those you over and here is cheers to the best dogs in our lives past and present…
