Botanicals

Botanicals such as coriander, ginger, orange, thyme, licorice and cardamom are used (to name a small few).

‘No two gins are exactly the same!’

Australian Gin

In Australia, the Gin taste journey on offer to you is now exceptional to say the least! As of early 2021 there are now over 173 Gin Distilleries registered with the Australian Distilling Association (In 2003 only 3 existed).

Needless to say, if you love the experience of taste exploration….. you’re in for a real treat locally!

Local Distillers

As a locally independently owned business ourselves here, I love any opportunity to help support other independents having a go of it here in Australia!

So with that said…. I have started pulling together a list of niche, local Aussie distilling companies that I feel share the same quality values that we have here at Boston Shaker Bar.

Here’s their stories!
