Tamborine Mountain distillery, Cauldron, is shaking up the summer cocktail scene with the launch of its new releases, including two Australian agave spirits and a limited edition coffee liqueur.

Located in the Hartley Road Winery Precinct on the Gold Coast, Cauldron is known for its handcrafted small-batch spirits. The company’s latest spirits explorations feature agave, the plant used to make tequila and mezcal.

With Australia’s unique climate and creativity, local distillers are now creating distinctive agave spirits that reflect the land they’re made from.

The new releases include;

  • Australian Agave Spirit Blanco (Lime, Chilli & Saltbush) – bold and zesty agave spirit with a lively kick of fresh chilli. Bright lime and green vegetal agave take centre stage, underpinned by a savoury twist of Australian Saltbush.
  • Australian Agave Spirit Reposado – a rich, complex agave spirit delicately rested in American oak, adding depth and colour while preserving the fresh, green character of agave at its heart. Subtle layers of creamy caramel, soft vanilla and cinnamon weave through, creating a mellow, rounded finish.
  • Café Freddo Della Montagna – a limited release full-bodied coffee liqueur, layered with exotic spices, dark chocolate, caramel and toffee. Organically grown coffee is cold-pressed and infused with fresh vanilla beans and cinnamon and sweetened with organic rapadura sugar.

“Whether you’re mixing margaritas, elevating your espresso martini, or creating something totally new, these bold, flavour-packed spirits will take your cocktails to the next level,” the company stated.

Cauldron’s new spirits range is now available online at cauldrondistillery.com.au for RRP $80.00-$100.00 in a 700ml bottle.
