White Possum Banana Liqueur
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.

White Possum Scarletta Bitter Citrus Amaro
White Possum Naked Amaretto
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.
