Imagine a slice of banoffee pie and gooey banana bread, but in liquid form. The concept of making a banana liqueur made from real bananas with no fake banana flavour additives started as an experiment way back in 2017. After a few failed starts and many, many gloopy messes, we put the project in the 'too hard' basket and it sat on the sidelines. Seven years later, in 2024 we decided to pull this project out of the woodwork and try another flavour extraction method we'd read about in an old cookbook. It still involves a lot of gloopy messes along the way, but the end result is a thick and tasty liqueur with enough banana 'oomph' to send monkeys and monkey-wannabes into a frenzy. In fact, each 500ml bottle of Banana Liqueur contains five bananas. To make this decadent liqueur, we cut up ripe QLD grown bananas, keeping both skin and flesh. One portion of bananas is very slowly cooked with sugar for 12 hours until the distillery smells like banana cake. The remainder is infused in cane spirit and distilled. After several rounds of messy filtration, we combine the syrup and the spirit then let it rest and develop in complexity. The gloopy solids that remain in the filter bag are rather tasty. Instead of throwing the leftovers away, we give them to a cookie factory next door to turn into banana cookies. As with all of our limited edition liqueurs, this one is bottled in up-cycled spirit bottles collected from bars which we've cleaned, de-labelled and polished prior to filling.

Aromatics “The spirit opens on a captivating combination of Citrus notes, led by Aniseed and Cinnamon Myrtle in harmony with a lively drift of Finger and Blood Limes that awakens and stimulates the olfactory system which rejoices in the purity of their aromas. But be patient, that is just the start of an aromatic odyssey. Juniper berries pop like champagne bubbles lifting the senses to a place they have never been. With a little time and aeration Juniper and Coriander enter the scene bringing the depth and distinction that one expects from a high quality Gin. As the spirit evolves further, the taste receptors are going crazy with anticipation, but they will have to wait as White Aspen and Riberry join the party. Add a little Lily Pilly and Dorrigo Pepper leaf and now your getting there. It’s an incredible beguiling ground breaking aromatic exploration.” Flavours "All the above are a precursor for what you are about to experience on the palate. A brilliant combination of Licorice, Aniseed and Wild Ginger captivate and totally seduce the palate, which is not complaining, it’s totally captivated. However after some 15 minutes of sipping a brilliant beguiling flavour of native Raspberries dusted with Macadamias emerged bringing a fabulous contrast to the above. What an adventure, in many ways, a journey back in time to the rainforest"

Proudly, a wine style that hasn’t succumbed to the dictates of fashion or commerce. St Henri is rich and plush when young, gaining soft, earthy, mocha-like characters as it ages. It is matured in old, 1,460 litre vats that allow the wine to develop, imparting minimal, if any oak character. Although a small proportion of Cabernet is sometimes used to improve structure, the focal point for St Henri remains Shiraz.

Founded by Alexander Gordon in 1769, the Gordon's recipe has remained almost untouched since its creation. Triple-distilled, the gin contains juniper berries, coriander seeds and angelica root to name a few. Perfectly enjoyed in a classic Gin and Tonic.

For 20 years The Famous Bundaberg Distillery has been aging rums in an array of different barrels. Bundaberg XF is a superior blend of aged and bourbon barrel rum that’s then given an extra finish in heavily charred oak barrels. It’s the twice that makes it nice. XF is a sublimely mellow and buttery rich sipper with hints of deep caramel, vanilla, and burnt honey creme like nothing we’ve ever tasted before. Made for moments that matter, but don’t they all. Serve neat over chunky cut ice, it’s that good.

Using the distillery's 120 years of rum-making expertise, the master craftsmen have searched our two-year old Bundaberg Rum reserves and selected a vat that was producing a rum with extra special characteristics. This premium rum was then doubled aged for a minimum of four years in our hand-crafted oak vats until it reached its peak.
