Discover the Perfect Christmas Gift with Black Cockatoo Distillery's Native Gins

This Christmas, if you're looking for something a little special, skip the usual bottle of bubbles and treat your loved ones to something truly unique—locally crafted gin from Black Cockatoo Distillery. 

With a focus on native botanicals and a deep love for the southwest, Black Cockatoo’s gift packs capture the essence of Western Australia in every bottle. Their three core gins—Signature, Desert Lime, and Bush Berry—each tell a story of place, local ingredients, and a genuine passion for crafting something meaningful. 

Perfect for the gin lover on your list or as a treat for yourself, these packs make gifting feel that much more personal. Let’s dive into what makes each gin so special.

Signature Gin – Classic with a Local Twist

Black Cockatoo’s Signature Gin is their take on a classic, full-bodied gin, and it’s anything but ordinary. 

Using native lemon myrtle and oregano alongside more traditional botanicals like juniper and citrus, this gin is all about balance. The citrus is subtle, not too sharp, with a refreshing brightness that makes it an easy go-to for a G&T. Try it with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic and a slice of orange, or experiment with any citrus you have on hand. 

This gin is as versatile as it is flavourful—perfect for casual sipping or classic cocktails.

Desert Lime Gin – A Taste of Australia’s Wild Side

Desert Lime Gin celebrates one of Australia’s own unique fruits, the desert lime.

Known for its sweet-tangy kick, this little lime gives the gin a citrusy twist you won’t find anywhere else. Rounded out with organic citrus, juniper, and a mix of warming botanicals like liquorice root and ginger, it’s a gin that works wonders on a summer evening. 

Pair it with tonic, drop in a lime wedge, or if you’re lucky enough to find desert lime slices, add those for an extra Aussie touch. This gin is all about celebrating the flavours of the southwest with every sip.

Bush Berry Gin – Vibrant, Floral, and Unforgettable

Bush Berry Gin is all about making a statement, from its natural pink colour to its layered botanical notes. 

The lilly pilly berries, river mint, and Geraldton wax capture the fresh and floral side of the Australian landscape. The pink hue, from rosella flowers and raspberries, gives it a soft blush that fades naturally over time—no artificial colours here. For a simple serve, pair it with a splash of tonic, add a lavender sprig or some pink grapefruit, and watch it turn heads. 

It’s the perfect gin for gatherings or just treating yourself to something a bit special.
