Our Gin

With a strong pine aroma distilled from the freshest Australian juniper berries and a unique blend of botanicals, Collingwood unTraditional Gins are not easily forgotten. Our Gin is distilled at 42% Alc/vol in a classic London Dry style. Keep reading to see what makes our gin stand out.

Collingwood unTraditional Gin blends past and future for a nostalgic flavour with a hint of something totally new.

Coriander seed is one of gin's historical botanical inclusions. Spicy with citrus hints, coriander seeds pair perfectly with the piney juniper berry that makes gin iconic.

Rosemary is another classic botanical with its own history as a backup artist to juniper's pine tunes. Rosemary provides a delicate, earthy aroma which creates a texture that carries the rest of the flavours home.

None of our botanicals better represents our values more than the finger lime. Named by Australian explorers who likened it to lime from the old world, this little fruit perfectly expresses the old-meets-new of Collingwood unTraditional Gin.

Finger lime adds a strong citrus aftertaste to our gins. It's unapologetically Australian. After you've had a sip you'll be convinced that being unTraditional is sometimes just what you need.

Pair it with tonic or take it dry to experience the full, unfiltered flavour of this Aussie citrus botanical. Try the Gin today.

About Us

Brewing out of a heritage listed former bluestone pub in Collingwood, our small batch distillery is the beating heart of our business.

Our values are Collingwood values. A suburb with a rich, working-class history of standing against tradition, Collingwood is the home of Melbourne's gay, arts, and underworld scenes. Where the rest of Australia zigged, we proudly zagged. At a time when homosexuality was outlawed our home in Collingwood housed the sexual revolution. Gay bars and rebellious street art represent the voice of the silent, the history which is so often covered up and forgotten; a history which Collingwood unTraditional Gin wants to keep alive.

Our colours: Black, white, and juniper purple say more than we ever could with words. Black and white are the true colours of Collingwood popularised by the Collingwood Football Club. The colours reflect the local Magpie, a scrappy bird that reassures all Australians that we're home and we're proud. Just like Collingwood FC for AFL fans, gin can be one of those love it or hate it drinks. We reckon you'll love ours, though.

The juniper purple is a little twist of our own. It's a nod to the key botanical of gin, but also our own expression that even the best traditions, like a classic gin, has space for an unTraditional twist.

But our story is just the beginning. At Collingwood unTraditional Gin our goal is to spread the story of all of Australia's unTraditional traditions. So tell us Your Story and let's keep writing history together.
