OUR STORY – herbit G!N

Herbit G!N’s story begins among suds and stills in a Shanghai apartment laundry. That clandestine Chinese laundry alchemy took us to Los Angeles, where we spent three years distilling, refining, and finessing the craft. Now back on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, every small-batch run honours our original spirit of curiosity, chaos, and quiet rebellion. Herbit G!N is more than a spirit — it’s a secret society of flavor rebels who believe real word-of-mouth starts with a whispered, “You have to try this.” So pour a glass. Pass it on. And welcome to the most delicious underground movement you’ll ever join.

Blue Dragon was our first — fresh, bold, and full of flavor. Launched during the Dragon Boat Festival, it set the pace for everything that followed. Red Lantern came next — warm, spiced, and a little seductive. New Black arrived during lock-down — smooth, confident, and unapologetically modern. Each gin is handcrafted from base spirit to bottle, infused with botanicals trusted for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine — layered with modern flavor thinking and a healthy disregard for convention.

Since returning to Australia, we’ve brought production home to the Mornington Peninsula—locally made, globally awarded. Our gins have earned recognition across the world, including Double Gold at the Hong Kong Wine & Spirits Awards, and multiple accolades at the San Francisco Spirits Awards, SIP Awards, and London’s World Spirits Competition. Welcome to the next G!Neration.
