This limited release is a true cellar-born treasure. Aged for six months in our subterranean barrel hall, where the temperature holds steady at 15°C, this gin has undergone a slow, considered maturation in a large-format ex- Mitchelton Heathcote Shiraz cask. The result? A luxurious layering of flavour—juicy raspberries and soft vanilla, underpinned by a gentle kiss of woodspice from the seasoned oak.

But it’s on the palate where this spirit truly surprises.

Delicately light, floral, and lifted, it dances with the freshness of raspberry leaf, offering a clean, aromatic structure that’s perfect for hot days and easy evenings. Whether you’re unwinding on the deck or hosting a sun-drenched garden gathering, the 3608 Barrel Aged Shiraz Gin is made for spritzes, icy brews, and refreshing summer serves.

Serving Suggestions:

• Classic Spritz: Serve chilled in a stemmed glass with muddled yellow peach or Cara Cara orange.
• Raspberry Highball: Muddle a few raspberries in a tall glass, add 45ml of the Shiraz Gin, plenty of ice, and top with soda for a vibrant twist on tradition.

This is not just a gin—it’s an expression of season and place, where winemaking heritage and artisanal distilling meet.

Available now from 3608. Limited quantities. Pure sunshine in a glass.

When the chill of winter starts to fade and the days grow longer, there’s no better companion than a beer that bridges the gap — something warm enough for cool nights, yet crisp enough for sunny afternoons. Enter Nagambie Brewery’s Amber Ale — a malt-forward beauty that defies the hop-heavy trends and leans into charm, balance, and flavour.

A Taste of Subtle Sophistication

This isn’t your typical American-style Amber Ale. Nagambie’s Amber Ale is refined and full of character — the kind of beer that wins you over slowly, sip by sip. On the nose, you’ll find honeyed nougat, a hint of florals, and a biscuity sweetness that sets the tone for what’s to come.

Take your first sip, and the ripe nectarines and toasty treacle bread take centre stage, creating a rich, layered palate that’s both comforting and fresh. Light copper in colour and medium-bodied, it finishes with a cheeky, tacky note that lingers just long enough to make you want another.

The Perfect Match for Casual Feasts

Food pairing is where this Amber Ale really shines. The toasty malt character and light sweetness complement hearty, savoury favourites. Pair it with a Salami Pizza for a punchy contrast, or a Fish Burger for a coastal twist. And if you’re keeping it simple? Grab a bowl of Potato Gems — it’s an unexpectedly perfect match for that malty, biscuity base.

The Ideal Transition into Spring

There’s something about this beer that captures the spirit of the season. It’s approachable yet intriguing, offering depth without heaviness. Whether you’re enjoying a lazy afternoon by the lake, firing up the BBQ, or sharing stories around the table, Nagambie Brewery Amber Ale brings warmth and personality to every moment.

Sharing the juicy production goss with head Brewer and Distiller Aimee

The journey to our upcoming Gin style Muscat Liquor release has been nothing short of exciting!

It all started when we decided to take our Classic Dry Gin to the next level. We laid it to rest in lightly charred 22L Bench Bandit Barrels, each one carefully seasoned with the rich, luxurious Muscat wine from our good friends at Pfeiffer’s in Rutherglen. As the long, hot days of summer rolled through, the barrels began to breathe, drawing in the air and interacting with the gin in ways we couldn’t have imagined. This intense exchange accelerated the aging process, deepening the flavours and enhancing the contact between the Muscat and gin, transforming it into something truly unique.

After just 2.5 months, we noticed something incredible – the swift aging had softened some of the gin’s bright citrus and floral notes, rounding out its profile. But we weren’t done yet! To bring back a touch of the gin’s lively character, Aimee worked her magic, carefully refreshing one of the barrels with a splash of our Classic Dry Gin. The result? A perfect balance of smooth, rich flavours with that signature burst of freshness.

Now, let’s talk taste. Picture warm, golden scones fresh from the oven, rich with the sweetness of golden raisins, all served up with a dollop of citrusy juniper butter. That’s the magic we’ve captured in every drop of our Muscat Gin.

We can’t wait for you to taste it, but stay tuned – this exciting release is almost here!
