The Blue Mountains Gin Company
… is a business that puts gin where it should be – on top of the mountains.
Our gins are inspired by the magnificent Blue Mountains, which rise to more than one kilometre above sea level west of Sydney. This is a region of awesome sandstone escarpments, rugged canyons, tumbling waterfalls, hazy mists and immense eucalypt forests. Declared a World Heritage Area in 2000, the Blue Mountains draw millions of visitors each year to marvel at the views, breath the fresh air and enjoy the mountain villages.
It’s also a great place to live and work, as we at the Blue Mountains Gin Company can testify.
A Unique Place …
Time spent in the mountains leaves lasting impressions of swirling valley mists that fade through the morning as the sun ascends to cast its light on honey-coloured walls of sandstone above carpets of green forest. Walking one of the many scenic tracks into the bush reveals a green-tinted world of shadows and trickling waters.
… amidst the Wilderness
The World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains wilderness is the backdrop to the Blue Mountains Gin Company’s operations. This region includes one of the largest intact bushland areas in Australia and draws millions of visitors each year. BM Gin is based at Katoomba, the main township in the mountains.
Our Vision
We have set ourselves the challenge of capturing the spirit of the mountains in a range of quality spirits under the BM Gin label. In doing so, we pay homage to venerable traditions in the centuries-old spirit drinks industry while embracing the innovative artisan distiller movement that’s creating exciting new spirits around Australia.
Scores of small distilleries are working hands-on to turn out bespoke batches of terrific new spirits. These premium products – and the many customers keen to enjoy them – are key to the spectacular ‘rebirth’ of gin as one of the most versatile of spirit drinks for good taste and good times. BM Gin wholeheartedly supports this trend.
