Headlands Distilling Co. was founded in 2015 by four friends, with nothing more than a goal to produce unique, handcrafted spirits. Featuring two science PhD’s- Lachie and Thomas, an organic chemist/chemical engineer- Jared, and a business specialist, Dean, each member of the team brings an individual set of useful skills. Headlands Distilling Co. focuses on two main areas. Crafting delicious spirits completely from scratch on site and creating tasting experiences which have not been done before.

A seasonal gin based entirely on Australian native juniper as the juniper source and features exclusively Australian native ingredients, which is the only one of its kind. All other Australian gins are based on imported Macedonian/European juniper. Whether or not this is technically gin is debatable since they don’t contain the same species of juniper, but they won medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and London World Spirits Competition.

Pushing the boundaries with this one, very different taste to classic gin. Traditional juniper is juniperus communis, Australian native juniper is myoporum insulare, known by botanists as Australian native juniper although it is a different species.
