Never Never Distilling Co. is a new and exciting name in craft spirits. Since 2017 in South Australia, the distillery has stood out for its unique gin. Their gins have a strong flavour and reflect the founders' bold spirit.
Origins and Philosophy
The distillery is in McLaren Vale, a famous wine region. It was started by George Georgiadis, Sean Baxter, and Tim Boast. They wanted to make gins with strong flavours and complexity. The name "Never Never" comes from the Australian term for the remote outback. It shows their aim to explore new ways of gin-making.
Focus on Juniper
Juniper, a key gin ingredient, is central to Never Never's approach. Their 'Juniper Freak' gin highlights the strong, piney taste of juniper. This makes them stand out in a market with many different craft gins.
Award-Winning Gins
The distillery got attention quickly. In 2019, their Southern Strength Gin won Best Classic Gin at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London. This win made them known worldwide and showed they could compete with top brands.
