Explore the captivating allure of the first King Island gin, distilled by a local female using native coastal ingredients, showcasing the pure innovation that defines Happy Heidi’s and King Island’s spirits.

Indulge in the extraordinary taste of the Native Gin, a harmonious blend of carefully selected King Island Native beach botanicals sourced from our pristine island oasis. Distilled with love by Happy Heidi, our gin embodies the essence of the island's unique flora, resulting in a captivatingly smooth and vibrant spirit that transports you to the untamed beauty of the King Island spirit with every sip. 

Drawing GINspiration guided by mentor and friend Rex Burdon from Nonesuch Distillery, along with her lifelong connection to the island, Heidi's passion for crafting mindful, meaningful and meticulous spirits, shines through in every bottle of King Island gin.

The collection features a carefully handpicked array of King Island Native plants of which Heidi personally harvests by hand from the beach and Australian ingredients. The juniper, coriander, cardamom, and cassia bark, carefully blended together with local botanicals, create the chosen recipe for a classic dry, earthy, fresh gin, bottled at a perfect 40% alcohol strength.

Elevate your gin collection and savour the unparalleled quality and distinctive character of King Island Native Gin, an extraordinary libation handcrafted for discerning palates and unforgettable moments.

To fully experience the magic of our native gin with tonic, we use our own rainwater and large ice blocks, while CAPI's exceptional mixers, especially their dry tonic, beautifully enhance the flavours of our handcrafted spirit. Embracing Australian craftsmanship, CAPI, an Australian-owned company based in Victoria, offers a wide selection of high-quality tonic, soda and mixers to complement our gin.

Driven by her unwavering commitment, adaptability, and the use of custom-made stills, Heidi's King Island Distillery embodies a clear purpose and vision — to deliver artisanal, handcrafted spirits crafted with the finest local ingredients. Each spirit reflects Happy Heidi's personality, pride and dedication, fostering a collective love and admiration for King Island Distillery's creative and authentic offerings.

Encouraged by her mentor, Bill Lark, we submitted our King Island Distillery Native Gin to the Australian Gin Awards 2020, where we were thrilled to receive a silver medal award. This recognition further fuels our passion and excitement for sharing the flavours of our lovely island, its friendly and passionate people, and the outstanding quality of our products.
