Inspired by rhymes of ancient mariners and the walkabout lifestyle of modern adventurers, West Winds owes its genesis to a Gin taste off at a Balaclava bar. Within a year, the new Distillery had release The Sabre, a decidedly new world style, incorporating ripe citrus fruits and an elixir of real Aussie botanicals, lemon myrtle, peel of lime and toasted wattle seed. Inaugural releases of West Winds have been met with spectacular critical acclaim and industry accolades, including Double Gold at the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition.
