The Coast Spirit

SUNSHINE COAST - QUEENSLAND

Our decision was an easy one to make. Leave behind highly regarded and successful careers in all aspects of the drinks industry to follow our passion and create CAVU Distilling - the proud makers of Sunshine & Sons.

Four Best mates.

Four best mates that for as long as we can each remember, have shared a love for the promise and the memory: the allure and the warmth of Queensland’s beautiful subtropical Sunshine Coast. And beautifully made craft Spirits.

Located right here on the Sunshine Coast, Sunshine and Sons is distilled in the little semi rural town of Woombye…… simply stunning part of the world!

Ingraining Sunshine & Sons drinks with the local Queensland flavours of the Sunshine Coast, is the type of taste Cavu Distilling wants you to experience! We would like to think of it as…

‘The Coast Spirit!’

Four (4) founders Matt Hobson, Michael Conrad, Adam Chapman and Daniel Vinson


Our Cellar Door

Cheers, Livi


Original - Dry Gin

Boston Shaker Bar, Sunshine and Sons, original dry gin
A traditional dry gin with native Australian botanicals & an ability to put stuff off until tomorrow. Soft, rounded and expressive, it’s a traditional dry gin with a local flavour; and naturally gluten free. The best thing is someone else has done all the hard work — just let the coast spirit shine.

Original - Vodka

Boston Shaker Bar, Sunshine & Sons, original vodka
A pure, clear, volcanic rock-filtered vodka with a short memory for bad days. There’s something special about the Sunshine Coast — the freedom, simplicity and a sense of clarity.It’s pure, fresh and crystal clear — like a great vodka. Pot-distilled in the hinterland rainforest, our vodka is gravity filtered through millennia old volcanic rock, sourced on the Sunshine Coast — a filtration method simply incomparable to any other, giving our Vodka more texture and structure through out the Spirit. It’s also naturally gluten free.

Barrel Aged Gin

This limited release, golden-amber beauty is the result of our Original Dry Gin taking a 3 month sleep in French wine oak soaked in sherry, creating an aroma of dried botanicals joined at the hip with fresh vanilla and coconut. It's just as happy to be served neat or with a large ice cube as it is being experiemented with in cocktails - creating new and exciting variations of old classics like the Old Fashioned, and sours.
