FAQs

Gins

Are your gins vegan?

Yes! With the exception of our Australian Christmas Gin, every other gin in our range is vegan. This is made with Christmas puddings that use suet, which a common ingredient in traditional pudding recipes.

Are your gins gluten free?

Yes! Our Rare Dry Gin is certified gluten free. While the rest of our range is not certified so, they are in fact gluten free. While we haven’t had our Christmas Gin certified gluten free, we do believe the gluten in the pudding doesn’t translate through the distillation process and have many gluten free friends merrily enjoy without any problems.

Are your gins nut free?

Our Modern Australian Gin and Olive Leaf Gin both include macadamia nuts in the distillation process. Both gins have been tested and no nuts are detected in the final product, but we recommend checking with your doctor first! There are also nuts in the Christmas puddings which are part of the distillation. We don’t believe this translates through the distillation process but haven’t had this tested to confirm.

What is the lifespan of your gins?

Our gins can stay open indefinitely!

Our Bloody Shiraz Gin is made using zero synthetic colours or flavourings, so it will develop over time but it never goes bad. If you enjoy it fresh, bright and fruity, enjoy it within 3- 6 months of opening and store it in the fridge. If you want to see how it changes, let it age in the sealed bottle. You’ll notice the bright purple colour fade, a little sediment drop to the bottom of the bottle, and the flavours will develop a more ‘porty’, fortified wine character.

Do you make a sanitiser?

We did have a liquid sanitiser available on our website in March and April 2020, however our 'Head, Tails & Clean Hands' sanitiser is now only available from our Distillery Door in Healesville. Call us on 1800 FPG GIN for more information.
