“We believe in fostering strong and supportive
partnerships with our stockists, and are committed to
understanding the specific needs of venues in order
to tailor our offerings. Through close collaboration, we
nurture plenty of mutually beneficial relationships.
“Importantly, our commitment to quality means we can
build loyalty easily and encourage positive word-ofmouth,”
she said.
Located just minutes from Caloundra’s bustling
centre, Beachtree will soon offer more than just
spirits, as the brand is in the process of becoming a
unique destination where visitors can embark on an
educational tour, unwind in a welcoming space and
explore the best that its beautiful coastal town has to
offer.
Kirra said that guests can not only indulge in their
spirits at the distillery, but also immerse themselves in
the wonders of Caloundra, as every Sunday the town
comes alive with a market on the main street offering
a delightful selection of local produce and handcrafted
goods.
“At our distillery, the aroma of botanicals hangs in the
air, while the gentle hum of the equipment creates
a sense of calm and curiosity. Whether you’re a
seasoned spirit enthusiast or simply curious to explore
the world of craft distilling, we are excited to provide a
welcoming space for everyone.
“We are currently operating like a cellar door and
offering tastings and pickups, but in June, we’ll be
reopening our doors for tours. Led by our passionate
guides, our guests will be able to witness firsthand the
meticulous process behind crafting our spirits.
“From the selection of our Australian botanicals to our
state-of-the-art distillation techniques, we think it is
important to reveal each step of the process and the
dedication and expertise that goes into every bottle,”
she said.
After being spurred on by their impressive worldwide
achievements earlier this year, it’s clear that
Beachtree’s journey is far from over. In fact, Kirra and
Steve were recently thrilled to introduce their new
Ocean Blue Gin Liqueur, which boasts a beautiful
purple hue and a complex flavour profile featuring the
colour-changing butterfly pea flower.
The brand has also unveiled a coffee liqueur. Crafted
using their award-winning vodka base, the complex
spirit has rich and chocolatey coffee notes, which
derive from the use of Australian coffee beans and
Queensland sugarcane.
Kirra said their plans for continuous experimentation
extend far beyond these immediate releases, however.
“We’re excited to announce that our meticulously
crafted rum and whisky selections are due for release
around May 2024. Aged to perfection, these spirits
promise to impress even the most discerning palates.
“We’re passionate about creating high-quality and
innovative spirits that offer a memorable journey
of flavour and indulgence, so stay tuned for more
updates as we continue to unveil exciting new
offerings and expand our diverse range of spirits.
“We promise to keep delivering exceptional
experiences, one sip at a time, while staying true to
our Australian roots,” she said.
