A message from the Distiller…

Back in November 2017 with my family in tow we decided to make a sea change from Melbourne to Anglesea so that our kids could grow up in this amazing place and I could develop my own business making premium craft gin.

Great Ocean Road Gin is my expression, my love of quality craft gin and a nostalgic nod to my favourite place in the world… The Great Ocean Road.

In August 2018 my first gin ‘Guvvos’ was released. The gin was affectionately named Guvvos after a popular local surf beach where my daughter loves to surf. It is a beautiful and rugged stretch of coastline, great for dog walking and kelp foraging.

Split Point Navy Strength Gin

Our award winning navy strength gin ‘Split Point’ is named after the famous local landmark, Split Point Lighthouse, that dominates the landscape on the coast at Aireys Inlet. The Split Point Lighthouse was built in 1891 after some ten shipwrecks occurred along the surf coast prior to 1890.

Our Split Point Gin is a nod to seafarers past and present who have navigated this beautiful but rugged coastline.

Split Point Gin sits at 57% ABV and is packed with intense favour – citrus, juniper and local coastal botanicals including salt bush, hop wattle, local honey and kelp.

Guvvos Gin

Guvvos Gin the first in the series, is a modern take on a classic dry style – it’s citrus forward, with a hint of salt. So it’s a lovely, clean, bright, & luscious citrus gin with savoury ocean notes. It has crisp clean juniper reminding you that this is a gin!

There are 24 botanicals, 9 of these local – coast daisy, ruby salt bush, coast salt bush, hop wattle, pigface, kelp, two indigenous eucalypts, even local surfcoast honey produced in torquay.

All of these ingredients make this gin truly unique to its location.
