tAmborine mountain distillery

Tamborine Mountain Distillery is situated in the Tamborine Mountains, south of Brisbane and west
of the Gold Coast in Australia. They make a range of mainly fruit based liqueurs but with a few
spirits (I can recommend the Wild Citrus Vodka made with Lemon Wattle leaves). As well as
‘standard’ bottles they also bottle in a range of hand painted bottles and a few blown glass bottles
of Italian or Hungarian origin. More importantly for us they also make miniatures.

Above is a tasting sampler set. These are 10ml tubes with 9 per set for A$35. They do sell mail
order but within Australia only but note that they do not have any miniatures on their web site so
you will have to email them. Visit the web site at http://tamborinemountaindistillery.com I identified
11 of these in total but there are probably more as I could not get a straight answer on this from the
owner/distiller and the otherwise very helpful lady behind the counter had only been there for four
days. They randomly fill these sets. Shown above are Australian Herb Liqueur, Karumba!,
Absinthe, Wattle Toffee Liqueur, Choc ‘n Chilli Liqueur, Chai Liqueur, Wild Citrus Vodka, a second
Karumba! (just noticed that – blast!) and Honey Dew Melon Liqueur. On it’s own is Choc Mint
Liqueur. The two I know about that are not shown are Licoricho Liqueur and Passionfruit Liqueur.

Over the page you will see the only two 50ml miniature they make, a Wattle Toffee Liqueur at 20%
and an Australian Herb Liqueur at 35%. This is followed by Bitters, their only 100ml bottle, at 50%.
