Cedar Fox Distilling Co.

Cedar Fox Distilling Co. isn’t your regular distillery. Since 2010, musician Craig Westwood and journalist Ran Zaydan brought together their knack for music and art to bring an edge to creating artisan gin with unconventional flavours.

Located in the suburbs of Melbourne, this is where Westwood and Zaydan work to develop new recipes through simple distillation processes. Their goal is to fearlessly explore complex flavours without compromising the quality of their products.

Their flagship product is the Cedar Fox Gin, made with pure wheat grain spirit with hints of juniper, savoury Sichuan peppercorn, and citrusy meyer lemon.

For a fuller flavour brought on by barrel ageing, there’s the Cedar Fox Barrel Aged Gin, which was matured in whisky barrels for four to six months. It’s made with several botanicals like juniper berries, fresh Lebanese cucumber, and zesty rosemary & lemon verbena.

Cedar Fox Distilling Co. also has a limited edition Sinister Fox Series that’s made through vapour infusing and steeping processes. A popular choice is the Pomegranate Gin infused with pomegranates harvested from a tree near the distillery. The fruit also gives the gin a light pink colour.

All of Cedar Fox’s gins are made in small batches. This is to ensure that their products are well-balanced and of high quality.
