Our Story

Black Cockatoo Distillery is inspired by a love of gin and a deep connection to the distinct and precious environment we call home – the south-west of Australia. Our products are carefully crafted from botanicals sourced from the unique diversity of the Australian environment, which complement the traditional botanicals essential to the production of a special gin. Each gin captures a different flavour of the south-west. These are gins to be savoured and enjoyed by those seeking a lovingly crafted gin.

All of Black Cockatoo Distillery’s gin is handcrafted by Pete, our Master Distiller, on the edge of the Blackwood Forest. Our gin is produced in small batches using the traditional method of copper still distillation. A slow, gentle distillation process ensures the local flavours emerge resulting in a high-quality gin.

Pete has spent considerable time learning the art of crafting gin, dedicating hours of research to perfect each unique flavour gin. He consults with other gin makers and Australian native edibles producers to blend tradition and innovation.

Our efforts go awarded with multiple silver and bronze medals at Australian and international gin industry competitions.

You can now enjoy these uniquely crafted gins at bars, restaurants, and at home across Australia.
