Distilled in the sweeping landscapes of Victoria, Australia, we produce an exceptional range of high-quality artisanal Australian Spirits. Specialising in our range of Gin, we incorporate a maceration process, hemp botanical extracts, native and exotic hand foraged botanicals and 100% Australian wheat grain spirit. The result is a wonderfully elegant, deeply aromatic and well-structured Gin.
Australia’s first terpene-infused Hemp Gin is like nothing you’ve ever tasted before. A delight to the palate, the perfect gift, a sip to savour. Using Myrcene & Limonene Terpenes at their very best for a unique aroma and taste, these craft gins are a different kind of therapeutic.
We love Cannabis and we think you will too. How did we get here? In 2012, Colorado and Washington lead the charge by legalising the recreational use of cannabis. That’s when we spotted the wave coming. The hemp & cannabis revolution is making the world a greater, greener place day by day – revolutionising medicine, self-care, social habits, even the health of our little fur babies! We’re not talking about Cannabis as the drug you know it for, rather, the inexhaustible list of medicinal, therapeutic, nutritional and material uses of Cannabis and Hemp.
So, instead of waiting for America’s progress to slowly make its way to us, we decided to make this stuff ourselves, right here in Australia so the benefits can be enjoyed by you.
At the beginning, hemp was a hippie wonderland. We saw an opportunity to create a portfolio of Cannabis and Hemp products for every body. For everyday humans, with health to care for and high standards to meet – something that would integrate easily into the everyday. From there, The Cannabis Company was born. And so, with a clear purpose in mind and a visible gap in the market, we set our sights on d-day – November 2017 – when hemp could finally be legally sold for consumption in Australia and New Zealand. Hallelujah.
From day one, we have consciously sourced our greens from organic farms, right here in Australia, carrying a no-paper policy and creating strictly recyclable-only packaging. We challenge ourselves to create products that people love and feel good about buying. We aspire to give back at every possible opportunity. And it’s our goal to rewrite the old nasty rumours and give this plant the kudos it deserves.
