Well done The Bluff Distillery team!

25/03/2024

We’re proud to introduce our Bluff Gin and ourselves for that matter, Bluff Distillery. Follow along for a taste of what it’s like to live on the edge of the world.

Distilled 19,000km away from London, Bluff Gin is nevertheless our expression of a classical, juniper forward London Dry Gin. The bottle in your hand, however, is anything but classic.

It pays homage to the glass buoys that would keep afloat the illegal Japanese whaling nets, set across our protected Southern Seas. Bluffys, as the locals are known, would set sail and brave Hell’s Gate, an infamous strait of open sea to lop off these buoys, letting the nets sink into the deep blue.

Those who made it back proudly displayed the buoys on their masts, front doors and at the local pub. A warning sign that’s still present to this day, a warning sign to never mess with Bluff.

History is here this sign found on site is from 1904. This beautiful place Ocean Beach has been in Bluffs history for over a hundred years.
With our future growth here we will always remember the stories and history where it all began.

Up until the 1930's, Bluff hill had a good covering of native bush.
