Tamborine Mountain Distillery is launching two bright and tangy yuzu-infused pours for the first Scenic Rim Farm Gate Trail of 2025 – Yuzu Gin and Yuzu Vodka.
The Queensland based distillery has been a pioneer in Australian craft distilling for over three decades, boasting over 300 international awards.
Head distiller, Gordon Chalmers, first discovered Yuzu while working in Japan a decade ago. The vibrant, complex flavour and aromatic depth inspired him to create Yuzucello three years ago, which quickly became a favourite among customers.
In line with the distillery’s sustainability commitment, Tamborine Mountain has planted 58 citrus trees, including 25 yuzu trees, on the property to ensure a reliable supply for the distilling process.
The Yuzu Gin features the bright, zesty flavours of fresh yuzu, offering a refreshing citrus-forward profile with subtle floral notes. Infused with a blend of carefully selected botanicals, it has a crisp texture with a delicate juniper backbone and a touch of spice. The distillery said the finish is long and invigorating, with a hint of herbal complexity.
The Yuzu Vodka has a velvety texture and refreshing essence of yuzu. The crisp citrus notes are balanced with a subtle sweetness, creating a clean, bright spirit with a refined finish. Its purity allows the bold yuzu to shine, with hints of zest and a faint floral touch for added complexity.
The Yuzu Gin and Yuzu Vodka are available online at tamborinemountaindistillery.com, or at the distillery in a 500ml bottle for $75.00.
