Byron Bay Spirits takes inspiration from the landscape, produce and creative character of the region it calls home, turning locally connected ingredients into small-batch spirits with a distinctly Northern Rivers identity.

Production begins at the distillery's Tyagarah property, where spirits are pot distilled using natural ingredients sourced from the farm or locally wherever possible. That connection between ingredient and place can be tasted throughout a collection spanning gin, liqueurs and ready-to-serve cocktails.

Byron Bees Honey Gin provides a particularly good example. Australian native botanicals are combined with artisan honey produced by bees from the distillery's own hives, bringing one of the property's own ingredients directly into the bottle. Other expressions explore flavours including limoncello and coffee liqueur, giving the range plenty of territory beyond traditional gin.

Visitors can explore the collection at the Byron Bay Spirits tasting lounge and cellar door at 88 Centennial Circuit in the Byron Arts & Industry Estate. Located alongside the working distillery, it's an opportunity to taste the spirits, discover more about how they're produced and find something distinctly local to take home.

The location also makes Byron Bay Spirits an easy addition to a day exploring the makers, studios and creative businesses scattered throughout this fascinating part of town.

Whether you're interested in contemporary Australian distilling, searching for a memorable Byron Bay gift or simply keen to taste something produced with a genuine connection to the region, Byron Bay Spirits offers another flavour of Byron beyond the beach.
