- ‘Cross Cut’ Vodka, is a blended vodka made with neutral grain spirit and our hand crafted ‘all-grain’ naturally fermented wheat vodka.
- ‘The Don’ our hand-crafted ‘all-grain’ naturally fermented wheat vodka.
Vodka Infusions

- Fingerlime ‘Cross Cut’ Vodka, sweet but tart fingerlime from Canungra.
- Peach Vodka #64 - when I'm in season I'm in the bottle.
The Single Shot Gin
London Dry Style – single shot basket infused botanicals for a subtle, soft, classic gin.
Our botanicals are not boiled but vapour infused highlighting the subtle but clear flavours of each botanical.
Gin Infusions
- Hinterland Horizon - our "ink styled" gin made from blue butterfly pea flowers
- Davidson Plum Gin - tart but somehow sweet, just the right mix with soda!
- Lychee Gin - the local's favourite made with Lychee fruit fresh when in season.
- Watermelon Gin - yes sounds challenging but one won't be enough
GIN
"Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine" - Humphrey Bogart
Ultrasonic and Barrel Aged
To make our bourbon and whiskey shines we mash our grains, allow our yeast to do their magic fermenting and we twice distill in copper pot and whiskey hat still till we have our close cut spirit ready for the wood.
This is where the fun starts – wood aged with sound or time in the barrel?
Wood Aging Options
- White oak mid-char american oak staves and an ultrasonic bath.
- French and American oak staves for a Scotch style from a sound bath
- Traditional American and French Oak barrels - time will be the judge
White Dog and Spiced Rum
Like our bourbon and whiskey shines we mash sugar cane and molasses, using high tolerance yeast to get the bst ferment, we twice distill in our copper pot still and cut tight to get rum spirit worthy of wood or not!
Our white dog is an unaged, unwooded sweet rum spirit ready for the bottle off the still. But for our aged and spiced rums, more is needed.
Spices and Woods
- Wood barrels and ultrasonic play a part in creating a unique rum spirit
- Like the Colonel used to say "our herbs and spices are a secret"
- Our new Rum series is planned to be released in Winter 2022
THE RUMS
" Drinking rum before 10am makes you a pirate, not an alcoholic " - Earl Dibbles JR
