First distilled in 1888, Bundaberg Rum is as Australian as it gets. Aged for a minimum of two years, this great rum made from 100% Queensland sugar cane shows evocative flavours of molasses and caramel.

This clean & smooth 5 X distilled vodka is perfect for cocktails and parties or just when you feel like saving a few dollars.

What’s your whim? Say it with Gin. Our Violet Gin is the mood ring of beverages. Transform the broody blues of Butterfly Pea flower to ultraviolet with tonic. A bouquet of heady Australian native botanicals including lemon myrtle, finger lime and pepper berry abounds. On the palate, layers of intriguing flavour unfold, from familiar juniper to juicy finger lime, mellow wattle seed and lingering zest and peppery spice.

The folks at White Possum have been big fans of Amaretto and its marzipan flavour for as long as they can remember. But it was a shame not to be able to buy an Australian made Amaretto, so they decided to take matters into their own hands and make one. This is a stripped down version of the classic Italian Amaretto, but with an Australian twist. To make it, the team smashes apart Australian grown bitter almonds (a by-product of the apricot industry), cooks and infuses them in a clean sugarcane spirit for weeks. This is where they get that big bold marzipan flavour that Amaretto lovers will recognise immediately. They then add a pinch of wild Strawberry Gum leaves, harvested from outback NSW, which adds an extra floral boost. On the nose, you'll detect thick marzipan notes but also a smattering of floral and herbal aromas, thanks in part to the addition of Strawberry Gum. A quick swirl opens it up further. On the palate, you'll be greeted with an explosion of marzipan flavour thanks to a generous infusion of bitter almonds. It's thick, decadent and syrup-like with plenty of sweetness but not 'visit the dentist' sweet. On the finish, you'll experience a long drawn-out ending with brown sugar playing a key role in the length. Its flavours will dance around on your tongue like a house party into the wee hours of the morning. All of White Possum's liqueurs, including Naked Amaretto, are bottled exclusively in recycled glass spirit bottles. Between the lovely network of bars who help collect empty spirit bottles for them and the empty bottles that get spat out of their own 'tasting flight production line', they've managed to build up a locally sustainable supply of bottles. These bottles are given a "rough massage" to strip the labels off, then a hardcore hot rinse and a final polish up before being revived with a new liqueur filled life.
