Teddy & The Fox Gin
Maker: Bellarine DistilleryAddress: 85 Scotchmans Rd, Bellarine, VIC 3223Instagram: @thewhiskeryWebsite: www.bellarinedistillery.com.au
Teddy & The Fox Gin: Small batched and handcrafted on the Bellarine. The Gin itself is an aromatic blend of 6 botanicals, juniper, coriander, orange, lemon myrtle, orris root and star anise. It has strong citrus characteristics with orange and lemon Myrtle coming to the fore. It is highly regarded as a sipping gin but also makes a great G & T. We recommend using a light Tonic such as Fevertree’s Naturally Light. Garnish with a slice of orange - preferably organic or a slice of lemon with a sprig of rosemary.
About Bellarine Distillery: The distillery was established in 2015 by Russ Watson & Lorelle Warren and is the first Distillery on the Bellarine Peninsula and the first in the great Geelong region since the 1980’s. The idea originated, as most great ideas do, after a couple of alcoholic beverages. Having visited Scotland in 2012, bearing witness to the romance of the highlands, the concept of starting our own distillery seemed like a good idea. It took 6 years for the delivery of our first still “Ronald” and to open the cellar door to the public.

About Sailors Grave Brewing: a treacherous cove at Cape Conran is the inspiration for the name and the spirit of Sailor’s Grave, brews inspired by the ocean and rural living. A sea change and love for beer prompted Chris and Gab Moore to assemble East Gippsland’s newest brewery in the abandoned 1893 Orbost Butter and Produce factory – not far from where Gabs grew up. The pair live with their two children on a family farm at Point Ricardo on the coast, and source buckets of inspiration from their surroundings. Their beers are shaped by the ever-present coastal elements that dominate life here and rooted in the farms and plains where the Snowy River meets the sea. Sailor’s Grave will make the most of the bountiful land around where they live and work, by incorporating Indigenous botanicals picked in the bush, salt, weed and sea life harvested from river and ocean, fruits, grains and produce from local farms and orchards and wild yeasts from their backyard.
