Artisan gin a tale of flavour

Creating artisan gin is like telling a good story.

It’s about exploring themes and building up details to a carefully-crafted conclusion, then hoping others enjoy it as much as you do.

That’s what we do at Otways Distillery. We tell stories with flavours. These stories have flair. They can be exciting and complex. They can also be subtle and refreshing.

Central to our artisan gin ‘plot’ is produce from the Otways in Victoria. From our home base of Forrest in the hinterland, we have easy access to some incredible local botanicals to flavour our gin. We strive to put the spirit of the Otways into our small batch gin and hope that you enjoy the adventure.

Gin’s popularity is rising around the globe, and Australia has joined the celebration. With many micro distilleries making their mark across the nation there’s a real sense of excitement as people experiment with flavours and techniques.

At Otways Distillery, we’re passionate about creating quality product using the very best ingredients from our local area. Foraged botanicals from the surrounding bush, farms and gardens give our gin products a taste that’s unique and satisfying. In fact, it’s the clever use of native botanicals by gin distillers that makes Australian product stand out on the international market. With botanicals including lemon myrtle, peppermint gum, bush mint and pepperberry helping build the flavour profile, distillers are crafting artisan products that are gaining a strong audience.

We love knowing we’re helping drive interest in artisan gin. We’re passionate about gin and curious about flavours. We also recognise just how important it is to create a quality product that tells a good story for the tastebuds.
