Tamborine Mountain Distillery was our next stop after leaving Franquette. Tamborine Mountain Distillery was established in 1993 and uses fruits as well as Australian botanicals to create great tasting liqueurs. To reach Tamborine Mountain Distillery, we walked along Long Road to Macdonnell Road, just 7 minutes away by foot.

Inside Tamborine Mountain Distillery


From the signboard, we found that in addition to liqueurs, Tamborine Mountain Distillery also have schnapps, vodka, rum and gin. Inside, we were pleasantly surprised by its traditional interior design, along with many pieces of wooden furniture within. Inside, you’ll also be able check out the various liquers and schnapps that are still held within their glass containers. Of course, there’s a corner that allows you to choose the different flavoured liquers that you’ll like to purchase at the end of your tasting session.
Tasting Paddle Tamborine Mountain Distillery





Speaking of tasting, we went for the tasting paddle this time which goes for $10AUD for tasting of 4 different liqueurs or spirits from the menu that you see above. This time, we went for
Wattle Toffee
– Wattle, a species of acacia that is native to Australia has been used by Tamborine Mountain Distillery to produce liqueur. Its seeds are said to have nutty, roasted coffee flavours with notes of chocolate and vanilla. In this rendition of the wattle toffee, we could definitely taste the toffee. It was light and had a smooth texture.
Butter Whisky
– The Butter Whisky has a light buttery flavour as compared to the traditional whisky. If you like the profile of whisky but think that its a little too strong, this rendition of butter whisky might be the perfect balance.
Lychee and Elderflower
– Lychee and Elderflower was probably our favourite with the floral essence and light sweet lychee aroma. Whoever thought that these could come together?
Yuzu
– Yuzu tasted like it should but we felt that it was a little too sweet and was a little cloudy in colour; which means it doesn’t look as appealing as its other counterparts that are transparent in colour. But we’d imagine that it would make a great beverage at the end of a meal.

It was indeed an experience to know the many different flavour profiles that Tamborine Mountain Distillery produces. In particular, we enjoyed the cross of floral and fruity notes of the Lychee/Elderflower liqueur. The ambience and setting was traditional and enhanced our tasting experience altogether. To end off the session, we bought the Lychee and Elderflower as well as Wild Forest Plum liquers at $15 each for 55ml ones. The total came up to $40AUD, including the $10AUD for the tasting paddle. Enjoy your next trip to Tamborine Mountain Distillery!
