past and shaping its future with the launch of the first independent distillery in the City of Sydney in
over a century and a half.
We invite you to watch our spirits being made by hand, meet our distillers and savour a drink with us.

ALLOWING THEM TO DEMONSTR ARTE THEIR CHAR ACTERISTICS IN A PURE MANNER. THE FOLLOWING FOUR CLASSES OF
COCKTAILS ARE SOME OF OUR FAVOURITES. WHEN YOU’VE TRIED THESE ASK YOUR FRIENDLY BARTENDER ABOUT SOME OTHERS.
THE MARTINI
The king of drinks has every right to demand our attention. We are proud of how well both our Signature Dry Gin and Original Vodka stand up to the
scrutiny of vermouth in this timeless test. Don’t trust us, check for yourselves.

OLD FASHIONED
This drink hails from a time when bartenders first started making Fancy Drinks. Old timers would sit at the bar and declare they didn’t want any of that new-fangled business, but instead wanted a cocktail
the old-fashioned way. So the bartender would hack a lump off the ice, add bitters, some sugar and alcohol. Nothing more, nothing less.
Old Fashioneds can be made with any base spirit.

MANHATTAN
New York is a Rye kinda town. And the drink that bears its name has stood the test of time for over a century. It’s a drink that lends itself to variations,
it has three of its own (sweet, dry and perfect). Our back bar has some excellent candidates for Manhattans. Here are some of our favourites:

superb children. Ask your bartender where to take this drink if you’re a fan.

BOTANICALSWHILE RESPECTING THE HERITAGE OF CORE BOTANICALS, WE USE A FAIR DEGREE OF CREATIVE LICENCE IN SOURCING A DIVERSE ARRAY OF TRADITIONAL, EXPERIMENTAL AND LOCAL BOTANICALS FROM SPECIALIST GROWERS THAT ALLOW US TO ACHIEVE OUR UNIQUE FLAVOUR PROFILE.

TIMEEACH BATCH OF GIN AND VODKA REQUIRES TIME TO REST AND COME TOGETHER. EVERY INDIVIDUALLY DISTILLED BOTANICAL IS ESSENTIAL TO CREATING A COHESIVE AND BALANCED SPIRIT, SO WE RESPECT THE TIME IT NEEDS AND WON’T BOTTLE IT UNTIL IT IS ABSOLUTELY READY.
GIN VODKA
GRAINS SOURCEDOUR GRAIN AND MALT ARE THE HEART OF OUR WHISKY, MEANING ONLY THE FINEST WILL DO – WE SOURCE OURS BOTH LOCALLY AND ABROAD.
