Latitude 16 Organic Gin Has Launched in Australia
Where the Reef Meets the Rainforest
We’re beyond excited to announce the launch of Latitude 16 Organic Gin (L16) — our flagship spirit that captures the magic of Far North Queensland.
Inspired by a secluded coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef and the pristine waters that surround it, L16 celebrates the point where two UNESCO World Heritage sites — the Reef and the Daintree Rainforest — meet.
Crafted from Paradise
Every drop of L16 is distilled with organically certified spirit, responsibly sourced botanicals, including organic juniper, pink grapefruit, and native finger lime. Together, they create a gin that is fragrant, silky, and refreshingly bright — the perfect balance of crisp juniper, luscious citrus, and tropical sparkle.
Designed for both sipping neat and mixing into your favourite cocktails, Latitude 16 embodies a modern Australian gin style with a strong sense of place.
Our Vision
At Coast Distillery, we set out to create a gin that doesn’t just taste exceptional, but also transports you to a moment of serenity — where reef and rainforest converge.
“Latitude 16 is a spirit that’s as aspirational as it is authentic, designed to resonate with gin lovers everywhere — from boutique bottle shops to the bar in your own home.”
Bec Jones, Founder — Coast Distillery
Sustainability at Heart
Our eco-focused ethos means every bottle of L16 is crafted with care for the environment. Distillation botanicals are given new life in future products, and our process is guided by a circular philosophy that helps protect the reef and rainforest that inspire us.
Available Now
Latitude 16 Organic Gin is available to order now through our online shop and at select retailers.

L16 Gin Tasting Notes
- Nose: Fragrant and refined — juniper’s crisp clarity interwoven with luscious pink grapefruit and a delicate sparkle of native finger lime caviar.
- Palate: Silky on the tongue, opens with classic dry juniper before unfolding into layers of citrus sophistication: grapefruit’s elegance balanced by finger lime’s tropical acidity.
- Finish: Lingering and polished, with a luxuriously soft citrus brightness that invites another sip.
