<strong>QHA</strong> REVIEW | 62<br />
“We believe in fostering strong and supportive<br />
partnerships with our stockists, and are committed to<br />
understanding the specific needs of venues in order<br />
to tailor our offerings. Through close collaboration, we<br />
nurture plenty of mutually beneficial relationships.<br />
“Importantly, our commitment to quality means we can<br />
build loyalty easily and encourage positive word-ofmouth,”<br />
she said.<br />
Located just minutes from Caloundra’s bustling<br />
centre, Beachtree will soon offer more than just<br />
spirits, as the brand is in the process of becoming a<br />
unique destination where visitors can embark on an<br />
educational tour, unwind in a welcoming space and<br />
explore the best that its beautiful coastal town has to<br />
offer.<br />
Kirra said that guests can not only indulge in their<br />
spirits at the distillery, but also immerse themselves in<br />
the wonders of Caloundra, as every Sunday the town<br />
comes alive with a market on the main street offering<br />
a delightful selection of local produce and handcrafted<br />
goods.<br />
“At our distillery, the aroma of botanicals hangs in the<br />
air, while the gentle hum of the equipment creates<br />
a sense of calm and curiosity. Whether you’re a<br />
seasoned spirit enthusiast or simply curious to explore<br />
the world of craft distilling, we are excited to provide a<br />
welcoming space for everyone.<br />
“We are currently operating like a cellar door and<br />
offering tastings and pickups, but in June, we’ll be<br />
reopening our doors for tours. Led by our passionate<br />
guides, our guests will be able to witness firsthand the<br />
meticulous process behind crafting our spirits.<br />
“From the selection of our Australian botanicals to our<br />
state-of-the-art distillation techniques, we think it is<br />
important to reveal each step of the process and the<br />
dedication and expertise that goes into every bottle,”<br />
she said.<br />
After being spurred on by their impressive worldwide<br />
achievements earlier this year, it’s clear that<br />
Beachtree’s journey is far from over. In fact, Kirra and<br />
Steve were recently thrilled to introduce their new<br />
Ocean Blue Gin Liqueur, which boasts a beautiful<br />
purple hue and a complex flavour profile featuring the<br />
colour-changing butterfly pea flower.<br />
The brand has also unveiled a coffee liqueur. Crafted<br />
using their award-winning vodka base, the complex<br />
spirit has rich and chocolatey coffee notes, which<br />
derive from the use of Australian coffee beans and<br />
Queensland sugarcane.<br />
Kirra said their plans for continuous experimentation<br />
extend far beyond these immediate releases, however.<br />
“We’re excited to announce that our meticulously<br />
crafted rum and whisky selections are due for release<br />
around May 2024. Aged to perfection, these spirits<br />
promise to impress even the most discerning palates.<br />
“We’re passionate about creating high-quality and<br />
innovative spirits that offer a memorable journey<br />
of flavour and indulgence, so stay tuned for more<br />
updates as we continue to unveil exciting new<br />
offerings and expand our diverse range of spirits.<br />
“We promise to keep delivering exceptional<br />
experiences, one sip at a time, while staying true to<br />
our Australian roots,” she said.
