Anther Spirits

Craft gin, made in Melbourne

The Anther Distillery is housed inside a 1915 red brick factory in North Geelong. Aside from being the home of their award-winning craft gin, it’s also a space where you can sit back and discover new flavour profiles.

What makes Anther stand out is its focus on plant science and incorporating it in their gin. Founders Dervilla McGowan and Sebastian Reaburn are both love experimenting with botanical blends to find what works. They also ensure that Australian native plants are given the spotlight in every single bottle.

Anther’s flagship product is the Anther Distilled Gin. It has a distinct juniper flavour with notes of eucalyptus and citrus, as well as eight other fragrant botanicals to add more spice and depth. Another popular choice is the Anther Cherry Gin made with Tasmanian black cherries from Spreyton Orchards.

Anther’s spirits has won Champion Australian Gin 2018 and Champion Micro Batch Spirit 2019.
