Infused with bright fresh juniper and a citrus savoury spice, this 40% ABV gin is perfect for those that enjoy a rich, complex texture and bone-dry finish to their gins (especially if you’re partial to a G&T).

The beautifully audacious new spirit uses local botanicals, including Salt Bush, an Indigenous plant of the Geelong Region (so think soft, salty flavour with slightly earthy hints) with the added flair of tasty botanicals like liquorice root, Geraldton wax, nutmeg, and of course, Anther’s own special blend of juniper to round out a real distinct Geelong flavour. It’s this stunning and unique combination that give this gin a distinctive flavour that truly stands out from the pack.

Distilled in their Anther Distillery at Federal Mills, a rejuvenation of the historical site that was the forefront of industry in Victoria 100+ years ago, all Anther Spirits (Geelong Dry Gin included) are born out of curiosity and a love of handmade craft spirits, championed by Dervilla and her husband Sebastian Reaburn’s desire to experiment and collaborate. With a cumulative 45+ years in the Australian and worldwide hospitality industry between them, the Geelong distillery became a labour of love for the duo.

This twist on the classic dry gin is destined to become your new favourite gin, with high chances of becoming a pillar of Geelong’s regional bar culture.

“Anther Geelong Dry has Geelong’s past and present flowing through it,” Anther Distillery founders Dr. Dervilla McGowan said. “We’ve used botanicals like salt bush to create a unique gin representing  the bay just 300 meters down the road from our distillery. ”

Anther Distillery recommends this spirit for your next G&T, but if you’re cocktail-making—it would rock in a Gimlet, White Lady or Gin Ricky.
