Clean Oak Barrel Aged Gin represents a distinctly Australian approach to classic gin craftsmanship. Rested in oak to develop subtle depth, this expression marries the clarity of traditional juniper and cardamom with the bright, distinctive character of lemon myrtle and pepperberry—native botanicals that speak to Beechworth's unique terroir. The result is a gin of refined complexity: familiar yet unmistakably of place.

🍸 How to Enjoy

Best served over premium ice in a crystal gin glass with a generous splash of quality tonic water and a lemon myrtle leaf or twist of lemon. The oak and native botanicals also shine in a negroni, where their complexity deepens beautifully.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Juniper and cardamom with a warm vanilla-oak thread running through. Lemon myrtle brightens it up, pepperberry adds a gentle hint of spice.

Palate

Smooth and rounded — the barrel time has softened the edges nicely. Still juniper-forward, but there's a warmth here the other gins don't have.

Finish

Long, warm and gently spiced. The oak is subtle — a whisper, not a shout.

From the Still House

Botanicals are macerated separately to extract distinctive character before blending with grain neutral spirit. The finished gin is then rested in oak to marry the flavours and add subtle complexity without overwhelming the native botanicals.

Botanical Sources

Juniper and cardamom sourced from trusted international suppliers; lemon myrtle, pepperberry, and cassia root prioritise Australian native and regional sources where possible, supporting local growers and reflecting the character of the Victorian landscape.
