The gin tasting was a great experience, very knowledgeable and passionate staff - not to mention delicious gins!

The Chocolate Liqueur gin was an absolute treat, I will be stocking up on these for Xmas gifts in 2023. These folk are very passionate about their craft and it really shows in the quality of the product.

I would highly recommend a gin tasting, paired with a delicious cheese board.

Also, the interior design out at Fyshwick was fantastic.

Thanks for having us!

What a great afternoon! Had a ball with Clyde and his staff! The tour and discussions about gin were great, and well, the gin, you can't go wrong. Great to see people who are passionate about what they do. 10/10 🥰
