Distillery Botanica

We are a boutique distillery tucked away on the beautiful Central Coast of New South Wales. Owned by herbalist and distiller Philip Moore, Distillery Botanica is home to an array of award winning tipples including Moore’s Dry Gin and Mr Black Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur.

Our distillery is set among three acres of beautiful gardens, which have been here for nearly fifty years. Perhaps some of you might even remember us as ‘The Fragrant Gardens’, which was once a nursery and garden centre.

When he's not busy concocting delicious drops, you'll find Philip tending to the gardens. After purchasing Distillery Botanica over a decade ago, Philip has brought the garden back to life, planting beautiful botanicals and flowering plants - which do feature regularly in his range.

We really love visitors, so come take a stroll through our lovely gardens and drop into the cellar door to taste Philip's award winning delectable range. Philip delights in guiding visitors through tastings and enjoys their often rapturous response to his drops.
