Anther turns 10!
We are excited to be celebrating our 10th birthday this October.
2016 - 2026
Back in 2016 we started distilling trials of a gin recipe that would become Anther Australian Dry and go on to win our first Trophy for Australia’s Best Contemporary Gin. The brief was simple: make a spirit that was distinctly Australian, packed with juniper, and good enough to work in any cocktail in the Savoy Cocktail Book. From there, things continued to bloom. We’ve grown, experimented, collaborated, collected trophies and gold medals.
But we couldn’t have done it without the people who have backed us, challenged us, collaborated with us, shared our drinks, told our stories and generally cheered us on. So, we invite you to celebrate with us on the 10th of October at Anther Geelong Distillery (Please note: this event is now Sold Out).
