BASS & FLINDERS - 22nd July 2026

Service Description

The Victorian Gin Series heads south to the coast. Bass & Flinders Distillery is based on the Mornington Peninsula and is best known for its meticulous small-batch production and refined distilling techniques. While many know them for their pioneering grape-based spirits, their gin program reflects the same precision and coastal clarity. What sets Bass & Flinders apart is their technical discipline. They approach distillation with a winemaker’s mindset, focusing on purity, texture and balance. Their gins are structured and elegant, often showcasing bright citrus, layered spice and a clean maritime freshness that feels unmistakably Peninsula. There is restraint in their style, but never a lack of flavour. The distillery has received multiple awards across Australian and international spirits competitions, reinforcing its reputation as one of Victoria’s most technically accomplished producers. This is a distillery that values method as much as creativity. So why book this session? Because this is your opportunity to taste coastal refinement in context. For $10 per person, you’ll sample three Bass & Flinders expressions in a guided 45-minute tasting. We’ll explore how production choices influence texture and aroma, how coastal climate can shape spirit style, and why their approach differs from more botanical-heavy or aggressively styled gins. Numbers are capped at 20 to keep the experience intimate and focused. Expect thoughtful discussion, proper pours and a clear understanding of what makes Peninsula craft distinct. For the remainder of the week, Bass & Flinders will be featured behind the bar, and bottles will be available at special series pricing. If you appreciate precision, elegance and a distillery that treats gin with the same respect as fine wine, this is one worth securing a seat for. Coastal craft. Technical mastery. Victorian spirit done properly.
