Bushman's Gin is a distinctly Australian take on the classic spirit, marrying traditional juniper and coriander with a carefully curated selection of native botanicals. Lemon Myrtle, Strawberry Gum, and Bush Lemon provide a bright, herbaceous backbone, while Rosella and Pepperleaf add subtle spice and complexity. Built on our house Barley Rye Vodka, this gin captures the essence of the Australian bush in every sip.

🍸 How to Enjoy

Best served over a large ice cube in a gin balloon glass with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon and a sprig of Lemon Myrtle to echo the botanical profile. A premium tonic water allows the native botanicals to shine.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright and citrusy — lemon myrtle and bush lemon lead, with juniper underneath and a hint of rosella flower.

Palate

Classic gin structure with a native twist. Juniper-forward but the Australian botanicals keep it lively. Pepperleaf adds warmth without heat.

Finish

Long and aromatic. Citrus and native herbs fade together without any sharp edges.

From the Still House

All botanicals are macerated into the base spirit to extract maximum character and authenticity. The result is a harmonious gin where neither traditional nor native botanicals dominate—each plays its part in the whole.

Botanical Sources

Juniper and citrus peels are carefully selected for quality and freshness. Our native Australian botanicals—Lemon Myrtle, Strawberry Gum, Bush Lemon, Rosella, Pepperleaf, and Sarsaparilla—are sourced from sustainable suppliers who share our commitment to celebrating Australia's unique flora.
