What’s your
favourite gin, Sue?
Butterfly Pea Gin – cause I love the magic and I love to see people smile when they see the colour change for the first time.
What’s yours, James?

What’s yours, James?
My favourite gin is the Quarantini – because it’s the core riff that all the other gins are built on.
It’s actually as simple as that.
HillTilly gin and vodka will take your taste buds on an adventure, and welcome them home with fresh air, crisp flavours and a warmth that starts with the people who make it.
Completely off-grid, HillTilly gin and vodka is made in the Adelaide Hills with the power of the sun, carefully chosen (sometimes foraged) botanicals and the loving attention of Sue and James Tilly.
Meet the Tillys.
Hi, we’re Sue and James Tilly and all of our gins and vodkas are made on our home property in the Adelaide Hills. With no electricity grid connection or mains water supply, HillTilly uses solar panels and Adelaide Hills spring water to make clean and pure gin and vodka. That’s right, our gin and vodka is made purely from spring water, sugar, yeast, sunshine and love!
Planet. People. Gin.
When the top three things on your list are family, gin and wildlife, it seems only reasonable to start up a distillery. Sue was keen on a home-based business and James had read The Good Ancestor by Roman Krznaric, so it was always going to come to this.
With their family property, Sue and James are creating a future that cares about the environment, the community and economic independence. With all three boxes ticked, they know that whatever they create and sell will build a foundation to move with the cycles of life.
From our hands to yours.
We are a small batch, hand-crafted distillery, using premium seasonal ingredients, sourcing local and organic in preference to imported produce. We might have established HillTilly in July 2021 but we’ve been learning our craft for way longer than that.

Future plans include a cellar door, which includes wrangling some steep terrain, beautiful trees and a mob of wild roos, koalas, ringtail possums, brushtail possums, echidnas and bandicoots that often drop in for dinner.
