Juniper

The heart and soul of gin. Juniper brings a crisp, resinous pine quality, balancing fragrant spice with just a hint of earthiness—a defining essence for every sip.

Desert Lime

The fruit is intensely tangy and zesty, with a sharp citrus bite that’s more concentrated than traditional limes.

Emu Apple

The flavour develops into something closer to a tangy berry or sour apple, with subtle earthy notes. It adds a punchy, sour complexity when used in gins or culinary infusions.

Nose

Bright and fresh with a citrus-forward nose. Notes of desert lime rise first, zesty and slightly tart, followed by a soft herbaceous layer and subtle hints of native florals.

Palate

A bold yet balanced profile. The tangy citrus of desert lime leads the way, supported by the sweet, earthy undertones of emu apple. Mid-palate reveals a complex blend of peppery spice, native herbs, and a crisp juniper backbone.

Finish

Smooth, dry, and lingering. A gentle warmth with a refreshing mineral finish – reminiscent of the outback air after rain.

  • Lavender Gin Sour

    • The Lavender Gin Sour is the perfect drink for warm afternoons, backyard BBQs, and beachside sipping. Try it with Bunker Distillery’s Zesty Bear Gin for a bright, refreshing twist on your usual gin cocktail!

  • Pink Gin Mojito

    • A vibrant cocktail that blends Bunker Distillery’s Rosella Hibiscus Gin with fresh lime, mint, and soda. This stunning pink drink offers a fruity, floral twist on the classic Mojito, perfect for summer days and stylish gatherings.

  • Dry Gin Mojito

    • The Mojito is a refreshing cocktail of mint, lime, and soda water. Using Bunker Distillery’s Traditional Dry Gin adds an Australian twist, infusing layers of juniper, citrus, and botanicals for a complex, aromatic take on this classic drink.
