Born through a partnership with Black Hops founder Michael ‘Govs’ McGovern and Barry and Lauren Hall is Nectar Vodka: a 100 per cent Australian all grain vodka infused with real fruit.

The trio say they made it their mission to craft a smoother, cleaner, and fresher vodka, developing a six times distilled drop from Australian grain-spirit locally made on the shores of Burleigh Heads.

McGovern enters the partnership with more than 15 years brewing experience and a suite of industry accolades, including Champion Australian Brewer and Gold Coast Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

“Having spent well over a decade in the craft beer brewing industry, it was time to shift gear and turn my attention to something new. Marrying expertise with my passion for quality craftsmanship, Nectar was curated with a purpose to be kinder on the body and smoother on the taste buds.”

Nectar is infused with real lemon, lime, and sea salt, and is sugar, preservative and gluten free.

Nectar Vodka is available nationwide in 700mL bottles for $69.00, alongside Nectar Vodka & Soda 375mL for $24.00 per four-pack.
