Olive Leaf Gin is a spirit that captures the essence of the local Glen Olive olive grove, where tradition meets modern craftsmanship and innovation. Tom and Judy Hartman have been growing olives on their property 8km north of the distillery for the past 20years. https://glenolives.com.au/pages/about-us They are passionate producers and have won numerous accolades and awards for the quality of their oil and table olives,  including Sydney Fine Food Show 2023 Champion. We are proud stockists of their products.

The variety Frantoio produces olives that are pressed for oil. This oil has been a consistent prize winner at the Sydney Royal for many years. We use leaves that are picked at the same time that the olives are harvested.

These leaves are dried and then macerated with Organic Juniper and  our home grown Rosemary and Bay leaves in premium potato spirit. The macerated botanicals are redistilled, analysed, diluted and bottled to produce a unique and savoury taste experience that can be enjoyed in different ways.

Sipped neat,  complex herbaceous, green tea, flavours balanced by the other botanicals with a forward olive leaf flavour, this gin has earthy, woody notes. The addition of other selected botanicals provide great character and depth. This is a savoury gin.

In cocktails, Olive Leaf Gin becomes a versatile and flavourful base, harmonising beautifully with a variety of ingredients to create signature drinks such as dry or dirty martinis. The gimlets is also an inspiring concoctions that can showcase its unique flavour profile. For the more adventurous barman try using this gin with olive oil as a “fat-wash”. Delicious!

For a refreshing and invigorating experience, pair Olive Leaf Gin with a dry tonic water – we recommend Long Rays Original or Pacific Tonic. The botanicals and olive leaf infusion harmonise with the tonic’s small bubble effervescence, creating a refreshing drink that balances herbal notes with a hint of sweetness.
