the story
From a distillery located on the coast, who pride themselves with crafting exceptional award winning spirits inspired from their northern beaches coastline, it was a natural conclusion to craft a delicious Zesty Limoncello.
True to its name this mouth-watering limoncello combines a traditional Italian recipe from the Amalfi coast with some of our favourite foraged Australian botanicals to create a signature zesty sherbet finish.
Using carefully selected large lemons with perfumed peel supplied from an orchard on the central coast, north of Sydney, we hand peel the lemons, being most particular to avoid the bitter pith. Infusion of the peel into the smooth grain spirit cannot be rushed. Citrus oils combine with the native botanical distillates of Lemon Aspen with its tart citrus flavour, like a blend of grapefruit and lime with a hint of honey and eucalyptus and Lemon Myrtle.

Location: QLD
Lemon aspen can be found in tropical climates like Queensland, and has a tart lemon and grapefruit flavour profile, yet a little earthy.
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.
Lemon Zest is the clear hero in our Zesty Limoncello. We hand peel our lemons to control the amount of pith included, and send off the rest of the lemon to a local juice maker to make fruit juice.
