If you’re into craft spirits (and by “craft” I mean small-batch, hands-on, flavour-rich), then take a moment — because the hills of the Blue Mountains Gin Company are quietly calling. Nestled in Katoomba, NSW, this micro-distillery offers more than just a bottle on a shelf — they open the doors, show you behind the scenes and serve up something a little special.

Why visit the Blue Mountains Gin Company?

  • Setting matters. The Blue Mountains region isn’t just a pretty backdrop: the distillery ties its identity and botanicals to the surrounding sandstone escarpments, windswept ridges and forested valleys.

  • Experience, not just purchase. Their distillery tour invites you into the production area — stills, botanicals, bottling line — and finishes with a guided tasting of four of their key spirits.

  • Access to the range. After the tour you’ll likely appreciate the bottle in your hand with deeper context — now you know how it arrived from mountain mist to glass.

Spotlight on their spirits range

Here’s a quick rundown of the spirits you can taste and maybe take home:

  • Mountain Devil Classic Gin (700 ml, 40 % ABV). Crisp, juniper-led, with citrus and spice notes — smooth and accessible.

  • Mountain Devil Magic Gin (700 ml, 40 % ABV). Infused with butterfly pea flower: deep blue in the bottle, shifting to magenta when mixed with tonic or citrus. Sweet herbal tang meets mountain freshness.

  • Mountain Devil Black Label Gin (700 ml, 40 % ABV). Classic gin base with a peppery-spice twist; more character if you like something bolder.

  • Nelly’s Blush Gin (700 ml, 40 % ABV). A softer gin variation with strawberry-forward garnish suggestions — an easy-going but refined pour.

  • The Devil Gin (700 ml, 57 % ABV). A Navy-Strength beast: chilli-pepper note meets juniper backbone — for the serious gin drinker.

  • Wild Dog Vodka (700 ml, 40 % ABV) + variants. Triple distilled, carbon-filtered, with wood smoke and oak barrel options for the vodka drinker.

  • Boar’s Head Negroni (500 ml, 26.4 % ABV). Their bottled signature cocktail (using their Classic gin) — good for sipping without mixing.

  • Christmas Spirit (500 ml, 22 % ABV). Festive, bolt-on seasonal liqueur/ spirit: macerated fruits, spices, port/ muscat infusion.

Having these in your line-up means you’ve got something to suit a range of moods — from fresh & bright to bold & spicy.

Why this makes the Blue Mountains worth a visit

  • Location + craft = experience. You’re combining scenery (the mountains) with craft (small-batch spirits). The location isn’t just incidental — it’s part of the brand story.

  • Discover something new. Whether it’s the butterfly pea flower colour-shift in the Magic Gin or the pepper-chilli finish in Black Label or The Devil — there’s flavour nuance you may not find everywhere.

  • Buy with meaning. It’s not just “buy gin” — it’s “buy gin made here, inspired here”. If you’re a gin lover, that matters.

  • Support local/ regional. Distilling in the Blue Mountains means you’re helping a local producer doing something thoughtful.

  • Perfect for a day out. Combine the tour with a visit to Katoomba, maybe dinner, taking in the views — it becomes more than just a shopping stop.
