Don’t let its location on the fringe of a semi-industrial estate or the fact it’s a working distillery put you off – Seaborne Distillery is a surprisingly serene and lovely space. Book a private tour, then perch up at the bar to taste the gins: “Coastal Dry” with native botanicals of white kunzea flower, sunrise lime, river mint and sea parsley; and the pretty in pink “Berry Blush” with aromatics of blackberries, lemon aspen and vanilla. There’s also an aperitif, “Sunset Bitter”, that’s perfect for sipping straight up or in negroni-style cocktails.

If you had to distil the flavours of Noosa into one drink, you'd be hard pressed to do better than Seabourne's Coastal Dry Gin. Head distiller Thiago Lopes has created a contemporary dry gin that calls on native white kunzea flower and sunrise lime to impart fresh citrus notes, while river mint and local sea parsley root the spirit in the traditional lands of the Kabi Kabi people. Particularly exciting is the Sunset Bitter, a bold and fragrant aperitif built on a berry gin base with native botanicals.

A few blocks away, a large barn door slides back to reveal Seabourne Distillery, a space epitomising industrial chic. A white-tiled bar and lo-fi soundtrack provide a great backdrop to the adeptly fashioned spirits, which showcase native ingredients – such as sea parsley and river mint – either straight up, mixed, or in cocktails. The gold medal for signature Coastal Dry Gin from the San Francisco Spirits Awards in 2022 is ample proof these guys love their craft and make exceptional drinks.

Seabourne was the name of a family-owned boat that once connected school friends Hayden Weir and Dylan Campbell, who lived on opposite sides of the Noosa River. Now, the duo run Seabourne Distillery together in Noosaville’s industrial estate, with Campbell as head distiller and creator of the award-winning Coastal Dry Gin. Inspired by the rugged coastline, the signature spirit is awash with native river mint, and a spiced undercurrent of sunrise lime, sea parsley and pepper leaf.
