Nosferatu Distillery’s story begins with Rory, a boy who loved art and creativity. After pursuing a career in film and realizing Hollywood wasn’t his destiny, he ventured into the world of wine and spirits. Eventually, he had the idea to create gin, and thus, Nosferatu Distillery was born. With the help of his friends, Rory crafted Nosferatu Blood Orange Gin, the first of a series of gins inspired by film and the arts.
Despite not winning an Oscar for his commercials, Rory’s Nosferatu Blood Orange Gin won the prestigious prize for BEST GIN BOTTLE IN AUSTRALIA at the Australian Gin Awards in 2018, gaining a dedicated following. Chapter 2 introduced Mandrake Cucumber and Mint Gin, inspired by the mythical Mandrake Root and its connections to folklore and literature, including Harry Potter.
Chapter 3 saw the birth of Giselle Pavlova Gin, the delicate younger sister of Nosferatu and Mandrake, which gained popularity beyond expectations. In Chapter 4, Nosferatu Distillery ventured to the Mornington Peninsula to create something unique. Bunyip Sticky Gin was born, a modern interpretation of a French classic called ‘Mistelle,’ blending lemon juniper base with seasonal Australian unfermented grape juice in each batch, ensuring a new twist with every sip. Nosferatu Distillery’s journey is a tale of creativity, innovation, and passion for crafting exceptional gins inspired by art and film.
