MANLY SPIRITS CO.
Barrel Aged Gin (Whisky Cask 04)
What was once transparent, is now more complex thanks to the ageing process of Oak barrels. Two barrels, one an ex-Bourbon from Kentucky, the other an ex Tasmanian single malt Whisky have found a new life maturing our award-winning Australian Dry Gin.
Marrying the complex botanical recipe of our marine-inspired gin with the character and maturity of oak barrels. Finished with a splash of Manly Spirits 6-month maturing whisky (bourbon cask), this barrel-aged spirit brings the best of both worlds together in a SMOOTH, versatile spirit. Perfect as a sipping gin, with tonic or in a rich smokey cocktail.

OAK + 10 Botanicals
Distilled with marine & native Australian botanicals
For the Barrel Aged Gin (Whisky Cask 04), we aged our Australian Dry Gin in an ex-sherry cask for 20 months.
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.
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.
Angelica root is one of the traditional gin botanicals, and has a slightly bitter, herbal and earthy flavour.
Green cardamom seeds bring a slightly sweet pine character to our traditional gin botanical base.
Coriander seeds bring a beautiful lemony citrus flavour to our traditional gin botanical base.
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.
Location: NSW
Mountain pepper leaf grows naturally in the forest and the cool climate of southern New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Milder than the Mountain Pepperberry, but the overall flavour is still very earthy and peppery, due to the high polygonal properties and has a spicy, cinnamon-like taste.
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.
Location: NTH NSW Harvested
Lemon myrtle has a fresh aroma of citrus and a delicate menthol and eucalyptus essence, with a sweet and refreshing lemon flavour.
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.
