Shiraz Gin Batch
We hand pick Shiraz grapes from Spence Wines in Moorabool Valley, a Geelong subregion with a unique terroir shaped by volcanic activity, ideal for cool climate wines. These single vineyard grapes were steeped in our double distilled gin using recycled alcohol and botanicals, reducing environmental impact. A delicious and flavoursome combination.
Winki Trop, the first Vodka in our range!
Winki Trop, with its subtle tropical notes of coconut sunscreen, freshly diced tropical fruits, and the fusion of salt, is exquisitely crafted. Perfect for mixing with soda and a twist of fresh lime for a zesty kick.
Guvvos Contemporary Dry Gin is our flagship spirit, a multi-award-winning gin inspired by the raw, rugged beauty of the Great Ocean Road. Distilled at our coastal distillery in Torquay. This gin pays tribute to the region’s unique natural landscape through a carefully curated blend of native botanicals. It features nine local botanicals, foraged or sourced from the Surf Coast, including coast daisy, salt bush, pigface, kelp, native eucalypts, and a hint of local honey. These ingredients work in harmony to create a bold and expressive dry gin that reflects the coastline’s crisp air, crashing waves, and wild flora.
Balanced yet complex, Guvvos is a versatile spirit with a distinctive coastal character. It delivers fresh, herbaceous notes upfront, complemented by subtle marine and citrus undertones, all rounded out with a gentle sweetness from the honey. Perfect served with a classic tonic and a wedge of citrus, or as the base for a coastal twist on your favourite cocktail. Crafted with care at the Great Ocean Road Distillery, Guvvos is more than just a gin, it’s a taste of place, bottled and ready to be savoured.
Our Grapefruit-Cello Gin is a bold, bright expression that reimagines the traditional “cello” with a uniquely Australian twist. On the nose, you’re greeted by a vibrant aroma, bursting with white grapefruit peel, delicate honeysuckle, a hint of brioche, and warming notes of ginger. This gin balances citrus brightness with aromatic depth, delivering a drinking experience that’s both refined and refreshing. Unlike many traditional cellos, ours is crafted with less sugar, allowing the natural bitterness and spice of the grapefruit to take centre stage, while still offering the sweeter, juicy elements of the fruit in harmony. It’s a beautifully complex gin liqueur that speaks to those who love citrus with a kick.
Whether you're winding down at sunset or starting the evening with something unique, Grapefruit-Cello is a versatile choice that’s sure to impress. Enjoy it neat over ice to fully appreciate its layered profile, or add a small splash of tonic for a lighter, longer serve. The flavours come alive with a simple orange peel garnish, enhancing the citrus oils and adding a touch of brightness to every sip. This is a gin that delights the senses, zingy, elegant, and undeniably delicious.
Our GORG Raspberry Gin Liqueur is a vibrant fusion of tradition and modern craft. It begins with our signature modern dry gin, expertly distilled with native botanicals for a clean, balanced base. To this, we add macerated raspberries picked fresh & frozen to lock in the flavour. The result is a luscious, flavour-packed liqueur that delivers a burst of ripe raspberry sweetness, beautifully balanced by the earthy, aromatic complexity of the underlying gin. It’s a celebration of local ingredients, thoughtfully combined to create a spirit that’s both indulgent and refreshing.
Versatile and effortlessly drinkable, our Raspberry Gin Liqueur is perfect served neat over ice, mixed with a dry tonic, or stirred into your favourite gin-based cocktails. For a refreshing twist, top it with Prosecco to create a delicious summertime Raspberry Spritz, the kind of drink that turns any moment into a celebration. Whether you’re sharing it with friends or treating yourself to something special, this liqueur brings bold flavour and berry-bright charm to every glass.
Our award winning Distillery Creek Gin draws its name and inspiration from the whispers of the past — an illicit distillery said to have thrived near the banks of Painkalac Creek in the late 1800s. Hidden amongst the wilds of Aireys Inlet, legend has it that barley was grown along the creek’s edge to fuel the underground stills that once dotted the landscape.
While our gin skips the barley, it stays true to the spirit of the land, celebrating the native botanicals of the Great Ocean Road. We’ve hand-selected local ingredients including coastal tea tree, lilly pilly riberries, river mint, and wild fennel — evoking the freshness of the sea breeze, the scent of sun-warmed bushland, and the rugged charm of our southern coastline.
A bright, fresh gin with a vibrant orange aroma on the nose. Zesty citrus leads the palate, unfolding into a soft, sweet herbal finish — elegant and unmistakably coastal. Best enjoyed as a G&T with Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic and a twist of orange — the perfect way to drink in the coast, wherever you are.
Our trophy-winning navy strength gin, Split Point, is named after the iconic Aireys Inlet lighthouse, a striking beacon that watches over the rugged coastline of the Great Ocean Road. Rising proudly above the cliffs, the lighthouse has long served as a symbol of guidance and resilience, just like the seafarers who have braved these waters for generations.
Bottled at 57% ABV, Split Point Gin (700ml) delivers a bold yet refined experience. It opens with a soft, subtle, and delicate nose, gently teasing out the botanicals in an enticing aromatic release. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, sweet and smooth upfront, evolving into classic juniper-driven notes, and finishing with a lingering, satisfying warmth.
The Split Point Lighthouse, built in 1891 after numerous shipwrecks along the coast, stands as a historic reminder of nature’s power and beauty. This gin pays tribute to seafarers past and present, and to the dramatic, windswept coast that continues to inspire our spirits.
South East Meets South West is our coastal Yuzu gin that brings together bold botanicals from both near and far. This unique expression is a tribute to the fusion of flavour, drawing on some of our favourite local coastal ingredients our coast, including Kelp, Pig Face, and Lemon Gum, while layering in vibrant, aromatic citrus notes from the east. The result is a striking gin that marries the wild character of the south-west coast with the fresh, zesty elements of South East Asian cuisine. The addition of Lime, Lemongrass, and Yuzu creates a bright, punchy profile that is refreshing, modern, and incredibly versatile.
Whether you're a gin purist or a cocktail enthusiast, South East Meets South West is made to elevate your drinking experience. Enjoy it simply with a premium tonic as a classic G&T, where the citrus pops and the botanicals shine through. Garnish with a slice of fresh citrus, like lime or yuzu, to bring out the full spectrum of flavour. It also makes an excellent base for creative cocktails, lending complexity and a vibrant lift to any serve. Bold, aromatic, and full of coastal character, this is fusion, distilled.
Our limited-edition Christmas Gin Liqueur features a stunning new label which we are calling Summer at Urquhart. The label features artwork of Urquhart Bluff - a special place to us on the Great Ocean Road - by local artist, cartoonist & surfer David “Macca” McArthur. This vibrant beachside scene captures the warmth, bold colour & nostalgia of Christmas by the coast.
A celebration of art and season, this bottle is as collectable as it is delicious.
Our Christmas Gin Liqueur is made with our Gold Medal-winning Distillery Creek Gin, aged to perfection in ex-bourbon barrels before being infused with something truly special: Joanie’s Christmas cake. This cherished recipe, passed down from our founder Ann’s mum, is added directly into the gin, allowing its deep festive flavours to macerate and infuse beautifully. The final touch? A delicate sugar syrup to round out the spirit with just the right amount of sweetness. The result is a rich, nostalgic gin full of spiced fruit, oak, and warmth, perfect to sip neat, over ice, or as the ultimate Christmas Day pairing with pudding, pavlova, or trifle.
This spirit isn’t just a flavour, it’s a memory. Each year, in the lead-up to Christmas, Joan could be found in her kitchen, lovingly crafting her famous cake for family and close friends. Baked with care and wrapped tightly in foil, these were more than just a cake, they were gifts of love, eagerly awaited and deeply appreciated. That same tradition and sentiment lives on in every bottle of this festive gin. It’s a heartfelt celebration of heritage, family, and the magic of the season, made to be shared, gifted, and savoured.
Our Shiraz Gin is made with Shiraz grapes that we hand pick @spencewines in the Moorabool Valley - a cool climate region known for bold, expressive fruit.
