For travelers seeking an authentic taste of Western Australia's Kimberley region, two notable gin distilleries stand out. These distilleries use locally sourced and native botanicals to create distinctively flavorful gins that reflect the terroir of the Kimberley.
Hoochery Distillery, near Kununurra, is one of Australia's oldest family-owned and operated distilleries. Established in 1996, it offers a diverse range of products, including the Kimberley Time Barrel Rested Gin. This spirit pays homage to the region's lifestyle and heritage, with a smooth yet complex profile. Visitors can enjoy guided tours to learn about the distillery's history and production processes.
Located in Broome, Moontide Distillery specializes in hand-crafted Australian gins and spirits made with native ingredients. Guided by provenance, passion, and purpose, they incorporate native botanicals such as Gubiny (Kakadu Plum) and White Berry Bush into their creations. Exotic spices like tamarind and mango add depth to their offerings. A visit to their cellar door allows guests to sample their products and interact with knowledgeable staff.
