Signature Gin is where every Three Little Birds bottle begins. It is a classic Australian gin built on a juniper backbone, then lifted with native botanicals grown in the same soil as the grapes we ferment for the base spirit.
We do not buy in neutral spirit. Our base is fermented and distilled from leftover wine grapes sourced from Jeanneret Wines, just down the road in Sevenhill. That grape base is softer and more aromatic than a grain spirit, which lets the delicate native botanicals sit forward rather than getting buried under alcohol heat. Each batch is small, cut by hand, and rested before bottling. It is slower and it costs us more, but it is the reason the Signature tastes the way it does.

Tasting notes
- Aroma
- Lifted citrus and blossom, with juniper and soft vanilla underneath.
- Palate
- Silky and floral — lemon myrtle and strawberry gum, then a gentle pepperberry warmth.
- Finish
- Long, clean and softly spiced, with the grape base showing through.
Botanicals
Juniper, orris root, liquorice root, nutmeg, lemon myrtle, strawberry gum, pepperberry, Geraldton wax, coriander seed, lime peel, vanilla bean
Lemon myrtle brings a clean citrus lift that lemon peel alone cannot, strawberry gum adds a sweet berry-floral note, and Tasmanian pepperberry gives the finish its gentle heat.
