The Legacy of Manly Spirits Co.
Manly Spirits Co’s gin distillery was founded with a vision to create exceptional spirits that capture the essence of the Australian coastline. Our journey began with a love for craft distillation and a desire to bring something truly unique to the market. Over the years, we have grown from a small, passionate team to a well-respected name in the industry, known for our innovative approach and dedication to quality within our gin distillery.
Our gin distillery combines traditional methods with modern techniques, ensuring that each bottle of gin is crafted to perfection. We take pride in our heritage and the artistry that goes into every step of the distillation process. This commitment to excellence has earned us numerous accolades and a loyal following of gin enthusiasts.
Unique Distillation Process
At Manly Spirits, our distillation process at our gin distillery is a blend of tradition and innovation, designed to extract the best flavours and aromas from our carefully selected ingredients. We use a combination of copper pot stills and advanced distillation techniques at our gin distillery to create a gin that is both complex and balanced.
Our process begins with the selection of the finest botanicals, many of which are sourced locally from the Australian coastline. These botanicals are carefully macerated in a high-quality base spirit, allowing the flavours to infuse fully. The mixture is then distilled slowly in our custom-designed stills, where the expertise of our distillers ensures that only the purest, most aromatic fractions are collected.
One of the key elements that make our gins that are created in our gin distillery apart is the use of local marine botanicals. These unique ingredients, such as sea lettuce and finger lime, impart distinctive coastal notes that give our gin its signature character. The result is a spirit that not only captures the essence of our beautiful surroundings but also stands out for its originality and depth of flavour.
By maintaining rigorous quality control throughout the distillation process, we ensure that every bottle of Manly Spirits gin meets our high standards of excellence. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail, our gin delivers a sensory experience that is both memorable and unmistakably Manly.
Quality Ingredients Sourced Locally
At Manly Spirits Co, the quality of our gins created in our gin distillery starts with the ingredients we use. We take great pride in sourcing the finest botanicals, many of which are native to the Australian coastline. Our commitment to using local ingredients not only supports local growers but also ensures that our gin has a unique, unmistakable flavour profile. Key ingredients include:
- Juniper Berries: The foundation of any good gin, our juniper berries are carefully selected for their robust and aromatic qualities.
- Sea Lettuce: This marine botanical imparts a distinctive coastal note, capturing the essence of the ocean in every sip.
- Finger Lime: Known for its vibrant citrus flavour, finger lime adds a zesty kick that enhances the complexity of our gin.
- Anise Myrtle: This native Australian botanical contributes a sweet, liquorice-like aroma, adding depth to our gin's flavour profile.
- Wattleseed: A versatile ingredient that provides nutty, toasted flavours, creating a rich and balanced taste.
- Lemon Myrtle: Adds a fresh, citrusy aroma that complements the other botanicals perfectly.
By using these high-quality, locally sourced ingredients, we ensure that every bottle of Manly Spirits gin is a true reflection of our coastal heritage.
