The Headlands Distilling Co Boobialla Gin focusses on native juniper, or Boobialla. Technically, this makes this not a "real gin". And yet, it is a fantastic gin, and competes on the world stage with "real" gins.
"We have paired the native juniper exclusively with other rare, Australian native ingredients including scented emu bush, two types of native tamarind, white kunzea, Atherton almond, quandong, Geraldton wax, native currant, lemon aspen and cinnamon myrtle."
The profile of this gin is floral and aromatic, and whilst this can describe a lot of Aussie gins, the influence of native juniper puts it above the rest.
The signature volumetric flask inspired bottle is inspired by the backgrounds of the distillery's founders, and their dedication in producing such a high quality spirit.
Headlands Distilling Co. began in 2015 when a group of science, engineering and business graduates started Wollongong's first distillery, with a grain-to-glass mindset for their spirit, and plenty of local influence with regards to their gins and liqueurs. Come 2020, Headlands Single Malt was released, quickly becoming a hit in the growing local scene. Their focus on incredibly high quality base spirit, and a well planned cask regime has seen the quality of their whisky only improve in the years since its first release.
