Master Mariner Rowland Short’s adventurous spirit led him to navigate the world’s oceans as a ship’s captain, exploring faraway ports in search of exotic and native botanicals to blend with his other great passion: gin. To him, botanicals are nature’s language of joy and splendor, awakening human senses and providing solace on the endless blue horizon.
After settling in McLaren Vale, South Australia, Rowland established Settler’s Spirits with a beautiful column still, embarking on a new journey of gin crafting. Today, Settler’s Spirits combines botany, exploration, and time-honored traditions to produce an array of expertly crafted and distinctly blended gins.
Enchanting classic styles like ‘Rare Dry Gin’ and the trophy-winning ‘Old Tom’ will captivate lovers of tradition. For the adventurous at heart, the exotic citrus tang of Japanese Yuzo or the unique G & Tea Breakfast Gin, infused with Earl Grey tea, native bush honey, and Mediterranean citrus, awaits.
Set sail on a flavorful voyage with Settler’s Spirits, where the world’s botanical wonders are carefully harnessed to create delightful and unforgettable gin experiences.
