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.

Breona’s
flavoured gin
30% ABV 700mL
Sheltered behind Projection Bluff, Breona is the Northern Gateway to the Highland Lakes. Alternately the name Breona refers to an Irish/Gaelic exalted noblewoman! Breona’s Flavoured Gin brings out the superb wild flavours of Tasmania’s exotic fruits and berries.

Dry’s Bluff
gin
46% ABV 700mL
Named after the imposing Dryʼs Bluff on the Great Western Tiers escarpment, this dry gin has all the hallmark tasting notes of a classic London Dry Gin. Bright and zesty with hints of peppery spice, its warm, earthy finish is truthful to its distinct terroir. Serve with a squeeze of citrus and your favourite tonic, and enjoy the scenery.

Quamby Bluff
sloe gin

Like a sentinel over Westbury, you can view spectacular Quamby Bluff throughout our peaceful valley town. Our Quamby Bluff sloe gin takes inspiration from the hedgerows around Westbury, and the areaʼs English and Irish history. Our sloe gin is reminiscent of Irish Christmasʼ past.
