Overview & Distillery

Bright, citrus-forward, and unmistakably Australian, West Winds “The Sabre” is the distillery’s flagship gin — a modern take on the London Dry style infused with the vibrant character of native botanicals.

Crafted in small batches in Western Australia, The Sabre balances traditional juniper depth with distinctive notes of lemon myrtle and wattle seed, creating a gin that is both familiar and refreshingly unique. Bottled at 40% ABV, it’s clean, aromatic, and perfectly suited for the quintessential Gin & Tonic or refined cocktails that celebrate botanical purity.

A showcase of balance and brightness, The Sabre captures the spirit of Australia’s coastal freshness in every glass.

Founded in 2010, West Winds Distillers was one of the pioneers of Australia’s modern craft-gin movement. Based in Margaret River, Western Australia, the distillery was created by a team of passionate distillers and bartenders seeking to produce world-class spirits that reflected their homeland.

By blending traditional gin craftsmanship with native Australian botanicals, West Winds quickly gained international acclaim, earning multiple awards for innovation and quality. Each gin in their range — from The Sabre to the more robust Cutlass and the spiced Broadside — expresses a sense of place, purity, and adventure.

Distilled using pure Western Australian water and locally sourced botanicals, The Sabre remains the perfect introduction to the brand’s distinctive coastal style.
