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.
OUR STORY
Where the Pacific Ocean meets the western hinterland on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Critters Distillery create award-winning spirits inspired by the Australian marine environment.
The authentic craftsmanship of brewing, fermenting and distilling resonates with the Angler Fish (Lophiiformes) whose survival is dependent upon its senses and features on the logo. Producing spirits using artisan production methods and electing for quality over quantity, Critters is a small batch and boutique Australian-owned distillery.
Proudly supporting and working alongside Australian farmers, Critters Distillery provides full traceability from ‘paddock to glass’.
SUSTAINABILITY
Critters Distillery strives to support sustainable practices through our supply chains, collaborations and distillery operations. We believe as a small business we can make a big impact with conscious sustainable decisions. Opting for recycled packaging, reusing distillery waste products and working in collaboration with businesses whose values align with ours by seeking to improve environmental corporate social responsibility.
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.
