Burly Gin captures a little of the Gold Coast's endless summer in every bottle.

Distilled and bottled in Burleigh Heads, this independent artisan gin producer has created a distinctive collection of Australian gins built around fresh, vibrant flavours, alongside an immersive distillery bar where visitors can taste the range, explore experimental cocktails and settle in for contemporary dining.

At the heart of the collection are three signature expressions: Burly Cucumber, Citrus and Berry Gin.

Cucumber combines fresh Australian Lebanese seedless cucumber with juniper, cardamom, vanilla and coriander seed. Citrus layers grapefruit, blood orange and finger lime with warming botanicals including cinnamon and liquorice, while Berry brings together strawberry, raspberry and elderberry with Burly's underlying botanical profile.

But to properly understand Burly, head to the source.

Burly Bar in Burleigh Heads turns the distillery into a destination for gin lovers. Visitors can work through a tasting flight featuring the Cucumber, Citrus and Berry expressions, keep things classic with a G&T or explore a cocktail list that puts the spirits into more playful territory.

Food is very much part of the experience rather than an afterthought. The current menu moves through oysters with Burly Gin mignonette, house-made focaccia and sharing plates to Sicilian prawns, burrata, gin-cured salmon, meatballs and desserts incorporating Burly's own spirits.

That creates a nice distinction for Locale.

You can discover Burly as an Australian gin brand, visit as a distillery experience, drop in for cocktails and dinner, or take a bottle of Burleigh Heads home with you.

Burly is also stocked beyond the distillery across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne and Northern NSW, giving this proudly Burleigh-made spirit a growing footprint beyond its home suburb.
