Our Story

Eumundi Distillers is a boutique distillery located at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi in the Noosa hinterland on the Sunshine Coast, Qld. The majestic Queenslander hotel is also home to the Eumundi Brewery and some seriously refreshing beers.

With its colourful creative decor and murals, sweeping verandahs, sensational beer garden and relaxed vibe, this iconic hotel is certainly a Sunshine Coast 'must-do'.

The hotel is also a great place to soak up live music, with acoustic sets in The Beer Garden all weekend + some of the best bands in the business playing ticketed shows in our entertainment spaces known as The Bunker and The Brewery.

Established in 2020, the distillery produces small batch handmade spirits using the best UK juniper and featuring the finest botanicals mixed with local Cooroy Mountain spring water.

Our Distiller, Olivia Corless is a Sunshine Coast Hinterland local, who has been crafting fabulous spirits at Eumundi Distillers since late 2022. Olivia began her career in the industry as a mixologist at a number of upscale bars along the coast and her background in cocktails and bars was a seamless transition to distilling spirits. With a passion for cocktails, a wealth of knowledge and a keen eye on global trends we are excited to see what Olivia creates for Eumundi Distillery.

Why Folktale Gin? What’s in the name?

It’s about folk – people – with a tale to tell, with stories to share.

We’re folk with tales to tell in Eumundi. There truly are so many stories. Stories of timber town times and the legendary Dick Caplick; stories of hotel ghosts; stories of colourful artists and their adventures at Eumundi Markets, and lots of stories about brewing beer.

And boy do we like to share a story or two – sometimes over a coffee, sometimes over a Folktale Gin cocktail, sometimes a Eumundi Brewery beer.

Each bottle of Folktale gin has its own story – or tale – to tell.

Folktale Eumundi Gin

Our beautiful bottle features the mystical Folktale Cat … such a purrrfect fit for gin.

And there’s the magic in the alchemy that is part of distilling. When we take something ordinary (like the humble juniper berry) and turn it into something extraordinary.

Our distilling team can tell fabulous tales of “cats” selling gin in London back in the 18th century to avoid fines for selling less than two gallons of gin under the Gin Act.

And, did you know, Eumundi Distillery is adjacent to the Eumundi Brewery? … and traditionally breweries always had cats to keep mice from the grain.

Folktale Navy Strength Eumundi Gin

The Folktale Fox, another mythical mystical character, stares out at you from our bottle, beckoning the drinker to try the best Navy Strength local craft gin in the region. He too has tales to tell!

And, let’s not forget folktales … the ancient fables. Think Aesop’s … and there they are again … the pairing of the fox and the cat.
