Little Juniper Distilling Organic Gin Made in Adelaide South Australia

While most young lads would sit down with their Dad and enjoy their first beer, at 14 Little Juniper Founder Stuart enjoyed his first sip of a G&T with his mother. Neither of his parents were big drinkers, but his godfather worked for Penfolds and later Hardy’s, until the early eighties. He always brought over great wine, and being an Englishman himself, with his rosy red cheeks, always had a story to tell about his winemaking days. One night, Stuart watched him fill an empty port barrel that the family had sitting on the kitchen counter. All sorts of concoctions went onto it. Several years passed, they had all forgotten that it had something in it. Remembering, Stuart pored himself a sneaky port. To this day it is the best drop of port he has ever tasted. It became a spark that lit his love and curiosity for the alchemy behind spirit blending.
