Nosferatu Distillery

Queensland (Bowen Hills, Brisbane) · Est. 2018

Nosferatu Distillery is a Melbourne craft distillery and the largest Australian gin house in the Bouchon catalogue by expression count. The distillery produces an unusually wide range across gin styles London Dry, contemporary botanical, flavoured, and experimental releases alongside vodka and liqueurs. The approach is expression-range breadth rather than a single house style: Nosferatu is built to supply on-premise programmes that want to rotate gin expressions or build gin-based cocktail menus from one domestic supplier.

The Nosferatu range at Bouchon spans 18+ gin expressions covering the main style categories classic juniper-forward, contemporary citrus-led, floral, and fruit-forward plus vodka and liqueur outputs. For programmes building an all-Australian spirits shelf or seeking a gin range with significant expression depth from one supplier, Nosferatu provides the broadest single-producer coverage of Australian gin in the catalogue.

Build

30 ml Dry gin
30 ml Dolin Bitter
30 ml Dolin Rouge Vermouth
Garnish: orange peel
Method

Stir all three with ice in a mixing glass for 25 seconds. Strain over one large ice cube in a rocks glass. Express a wide strip of orange peel over the surface; drop it in. Same architecture as a classic Negroni — but the Chambéry house build, lighter and floral where Campari is sharp.

Chambéry Negroni
Build

30 ml Dry gin
30 ml Dolin Bitter
30 ml Dolin Blanc Vermouth
Garnish: lemon peel, green olive
Method

Stir all three with ice in a mixing glass for 25 seconds. Strain over one large ice cube in a rocks glass. Express a lemon peel over the surface and discard. Drop a single green olive into the glass on a pick. Visually pale, structurally a Negroni — bracing and aromatic.

Negroni Bianco
Build

30 ml Dry gin
20 ml Blackberry eau-de-vie
20 ml Fresh lemon juice
10 ml Simple syrup
15 ml Crème de Mûre (to float, optional)
Garnish: fresh blackberries, lemon wheel
Method

Shake gin, blackberry eau-de-vie, lemon and syrup with ice for 8 seconds. Strain over crushed ice in a rocks glass. Drizzle the crème de mûre slowly across the top (skip if you want it bone-dry). Garnish with fresh blackberries and a lemon wheel. The eau-de-vie does the lifting; the crème adds colour and a touch of sweetness.

Bramble d'Alsace
Build

60 ml Dry gin (or vodka)
5 ml Mette Truffle eau-de-vie
10 ml Dry vermouth
Garnish: olive on a pick, or a paper-thin truffle shaving (rare/luxe)
Method

Stir gin (or vodka), truffle eau-de-vie and dry vermouth in a mixing glass with ice for 25 seconds. Strain into a chilled, deeply frozen martini glass. Garnish minimally — a single Castelvetrano olive, or a real truffle shaving if the occasion warrants. Five millilitres of truffle eau-de-vie is enough to perfume the whole drink. Trust the restraint.

Truffle Martini
Build

30 ml Dry gin
15 ml Williams Pear eau-de-vie
30 ml Italian bitter (Dolin Bitter)
30 ml Sweet vermouth
Garnish: thin pear slice, orange peel
Method

Stir all four with ice in a mixing glass for 25 seconds. Strain over one large ice cube in a rocks glass. Lay a thin pear slice on the surface and express an orange peel over the top. The pear eau-de-vie lifts the Negroni's heaviness — drier and more aromatic.
