Variations Distillery is a labour of love. From straw bale walls and a handcrafted timber bar to solid wood doors to the carefully tuck-pointed brickwork. Every detail reflects dedication, skill, and a hands-on approach rarely seen today.

But the magic isn’t just in the architecture. It’s in the gin. Saul, the head distiller, has poured passion and creativity into every recipe, crafting the flavours that wowed judges at the awards. “These achievements reflect his hard work and commitment to excellence,” says co-owner Nic Willis. “But the awards are the result of a team working tirelessly, from kitchen duties to bottling and tasting.”

The awards celebrate the artistry and innovation of Western Australia’s finest distillers. They honour the skill, dedication, and creativity behind exceptional spirits, liqueurs, and bitters. Judged blind by a panel of industry experts, these accolades highlight just how remarkable the flavours and craftsmanship are.

It’s this same care and expertise that visitors encounter firsthand. Each tasting reveals layers of flavour, from the crisp, Premium Dry Gin to the delicate, floral notes of the Rose Gin. Every sip reflects years of skill, experimentation, and care.

Whether neat or in a cocktail, a visit to Variations Distillery is a chance to taste award-winning gin at its best. For anyone travelling through Pinjarra, it’s a destination that proves extraordinary things can come from hand-built ambition and meticulous craft.
