Meet Ben Osborne, CEO and founder of the Local Spirit Group of companies. 

"My passion for creating products started when working in the bars of Canberra. Masterclasses and tasting were run for staff every other week. Meeting the makers and seeing the passion and love they have put into their products sparked my interest in further understanding how things are made. This lead to me learning to distill in Tasmania and traveling far and wide visiting as many distilleries as I could.

You can taste and enjoy a high-quality product; but when you get to meet the maker, hear their stories, and see where and how it is produced it makes for an unforgettable experience. Join myself and the largest group of Australian gin lovers on our adventures. "
