Gin
Unlike other parts of Australia, summer twilight in Tasmania is long and lingering, especially in the alpine Land of a Thousand Lakes high above the Tiers. The quest: a drink that can evoke a sense of place, a landscape. At Western Tiers Distillery, we know that it is all about staying true to the spirit: something elusive yet deeply essential. The separation of the gross from the subtle and the subtle from the gross. The balance of flavours until we have the essence. We use only the clean, pristine water which has its source above the Tiers in Tasmanian’s World Heritage Area. Our specialty botanicals are sourced from this majestic landscape.
The end result is four refreshing, premium Tasmanian gins inspired by the Great Western Tiers and the best traditions of Tasmanian distilling, each named after the prominent bluffs that dominate the landscape: Dry’s, Nells, Quamby and Breona’s – a selection of classic, sloe and perfectly flavoured gins to drink neat, on ice or mixed.
