Our Story
“Here at Distil on the Hill we have a passion for craft spirits and love all things gin.
Our carefully selected range of beautiful botanicals, fresh local citrus, organic Macedonian juniper and fire-roasted pepper is lovingly hand-blended with an ultra-premium grape base spirit made with 100% Australian grown Barossa Valley grapes.”
Our Founders and Co.
We met whilst working in a beachside restaurant under the tropical palms of FNQ. Working as a chef and a bartender, we spent many a night bonding over a shared love of fine flavours.
Backed by a strong family heritage of award-winning distillers, we embarked on a mission to create a contemporary London Dry style gin, that features undertones of sweetness and spice.
We are thrilled to finally see our vision realised and we are excited for you to try our signature blend.
Neddy & Christian.
Copper Pot Distillation
There is something romantic about using a copper pot still in a one-shot small batch vapour distillation. This century-aged artform ensures an even distribution of heat resulting in a quality spirit, free of unwanted sulphur compounds and fatty acids.
The art is in measuring each of the ingredients with precision, followed by placing them lovingly into the still. This method allows us to extract the best flavours and fine oils from each botanical creating a beautiful spirit in every batch.
