Critters Distillery Gin is a modern contemporary styled Gin that steps away from the traditional London dry.

Like our Vodka, our Gin is brewed, fermented and distilled in house from a mash blend consisting of small batch single origin wheat malt and 100% cane sugar.

Using locally sourced endemic Australian species for our botanicals, such as Davidson Plum, Finger Lime, Lemon & Aniseed Myrtle, Rosella flower and an organic Juniper, our Gin is light and floral whilst still maintaining a fresh juniper base.

Presented in a French 500ml decanter and wooden stopper this incredibly smooth Gin is best enjoyed with your favourite Mediterranean tonic and garnish.

Offering full paddock to glass transparency without importing any ethanol into our distillery, each bottle is hand labelled and served at 42% abv.

 

Internationally recognised and awarded, Critters Distillery Vodka is an exceptionally smooth spirit that can be best described as a whiskey drinkers Vodka.

Brewed, fermented and distilled in house from a mash blend consisting of small batch single origin wheat malt and 100% cane sugar, the result is a clean and fresh finish.

Aromatic notes of wild Australian plums, citrus fruits with elements of peppercorn spice. Presented in a French 500ml decanter and wooden stopper, we enjoy this spirit neat on ice.

Made from 100% Australian raw ingredients, we provide full paddock to glass transparency without importing any ethanol into our distillery allowing us to leave our Vodka unfiltered. Each bottle is hand labelled and served at 40% abv.

Proudly supporting and working alongside Australian farmers, Critters Distillery provides full traceability from ‘paddock to glass’.

OUR DISTILLERY

Our distillery houses seven custom made glycol cooled fermenters with a total of over 3000 litres of fermenting power. These feed our two unique eight plate bubble cap column stills that are specialised for producing an extremely pure spirit. Our largest still has a capacity of 620 litres and processes the raw fermented product into 93% alcohol, this initial distillation process produces a product referred to as low-wines, which is blended and combined before being run through our smaller 250 litre spirit still for the next phase of distillation. From this run we select a final cut, or hearts of the run which are proofed down to 40% with pure filtered water and bottle aged to become our unique Vodka.
