Making an exceptional dry gin can take months, if not years, to properly perfect. First, you need a neutral base spirit, at Manly Spirits, we use Australian wheat neutral grain spirit.
The next step in making our Australian craft dry gin is distillation. The liquid mixture is heated until it evaporates into a gas and then collected as it recondenses into a liquid again. This process filters out impurities and increases the concentration of the alcohol.
Finally, the gin gets proofed back (diluted) to a suitable drinking strength — true dry styles tend to be a bit stiffer than other gins out there and can only be watered down to a minimum strength of 37.5%. Once we are happy with the taste and quality of our gin, we bottle and label it — our gin is finally ready for you to sample it yourself!
For more information about how we make our award-winning Australian dry gin, cocktail-making tips and other ways to enjoy gin, visit our blog.
Featuring bright and fresh peppery notes which make it refreshing in warm weather, Australian Dry Gin is great for those who enjoy bold, all-rounded tastes. If you prefer a more contemporary gin, we have plenty of other gins for you to try — explore our entire range online.
When it comes to enjoying our high-quality Australian-made gins, drinking it neat or with a few ice cubes is the best way to enjoy all the nuances and subtleties of the botanical flavours. For those who prefer a mix, tonic water is a classic favourite for gin.

10 Botanicals
Distilled with marine & native Australian botanicals
Location: NTH NSW Cultivated
Finger Lime is a rainforest fruit grown in the hinterland of the northern rivers of NSW & QLD. The lime crystals are packed with a highly concentrated lime flavour that explodes in your mouth.
Location: Foraged from Curl Curl Beach
Sea Lettuce is a algae that grows on the rock shelves, which makes it an incredibly dangerous botanical to forage (our team have the scars to prove it!). We only collect what we need, and a little bit goes a long way as its important to balance the beautiful umami, oceanic character that sea lettuce brings to our spirits.
Orange peel is one of the real heroes in our Australian Dry Gin, bringing a bright & fresh citrus characteristic balanced with the marine, juniper and peppery notes.
Location: TAS Wild Harvested & Cultivated
We use the leaf of the Mountain Pepper plant, harvested from Tasmania, which adds a mild chilli and peppery character to our gin.
Angelica root is one of the traditional gin botanicals, and has a slightly bitter, herbal and earthy flavour.
Location: NSW
If you’ve ever tried juniper berries, it’s likely that you instantly thought of gin. Juniper is what makes a gin, a gin. It’s the strong piney notes that really shine when distilled, giving gin that beautifully unique ‘gin’ characteristic.
Green cardamom seeds bring a slightly sweet pine character to our traditional gin botanical base.
Location: VIC/NSW Wild Harvested
Wattleseed brings a distinct nutty, coffee and roasted character to our spirits, which really emulates the uniqueness of the Australian bush.
Coriander seeds bring a beautiful lemony citrus flavour to our traditional gin botanical base.
Orris root has an earthy yet floral flavour profile, and when distilled, it is used to bind and enhance the flavours of other botanicals.
Location: NSW
A sub-tropical australian native tree traditionally found in the rainforests of Northern NSW. Slightly sweet liquorice profile on the front palate, which builds and lingers on the back palate to a refreshing, earthy menthol profile similar to star anise.
