About the spirit
If you like olives in your Martini, this should be your go-to!
- Naked and La Petite Mort are proud to present our exclusive, small batch Bent Road Distillery Old-School Gin #3. Based on a classic recipe from the 1920s by a man called Willkie, quintessentially the mad scientist of Gin!
- The passionate team at La Petite Mort have meticulously crafted his ingredients into their take on his classic recipe. The Old-School Gin #3 recipe is (as the number suggests) three iterations away from my the first batch using Willkie’s recipe. It has been modernised only slightly, with a little more juniper and the addition of orris root (to anchor the flavours) and native wattle seed for a local tie with a deep, toasty, nutty hint. This is your gin for classic cocktails and it makes a stunning Negroni.
- Careful distillation cuts and the addition of the wattle seed gives it a smooth, polished mouthfeel, to the point that it is quite nice sipped with a dash of soda or even just poured over ice. If you like olives in your Martini then this should be your go-to! You could compare it to The Botanist in terms of flavour.
Best before
Craft gin will change over time and batches subtly shift between one run and the next with seasonality and as the distiller hones his craft. So, while ageing isnt a significant factor, if you find a batch you particularly like, stock up on it!!
Serving advice
Almost ALL good mixed drinks start with a glass filled to the brim with ice! Lots of ice keeps your ingredients cold to reduce dilution and in a G&T it helps to get the ratio of spirit to mixer right.
Try 2 parts gin to 3 or 4 parts tonic (eg. 30ml gin and 45-60ml tonic).
Simple, uncomplicated tonics work best to allow the gin to shine.
If your tonic of choice is a bit too full on, try 50/50 tonic and soda for a lighter, more refreshing drink.
You dont have to garnish your gin I worked hard to make sure theres plenty of flavour already in the bottle! But by all means, play around. Try to think of a garnish that will highlight something you like about the gin.
Try Old-School with a couple of green olives or a sprig of rosemary.
Try New-School with mandarin peel or pink grapefruit.
Please dont shake your Martinis
the famous reference is a joke - not to be taken literally!!
Food match
Gin is the ideal clean, fresh aperitif. Enjoy a tipple or two before dinner the cleanse the palate and whet the appetite!
Meanwhile, the bitter, digestive properties of a Negroni make for a great after-dinner drink to settle the stomach and to ease into your evenings activities!

Meet the spirit maker - Glen Robert
- Expect the unexpected from Glen Robert at La Petite Mort. A former medical research chemist, Glen fell under wine’s spell around 2000 – and never looked back.
- In 2014, he discovered Shiraz and Viognier vines in need of some TLC in Ballandean, on Queensland’s Granite Belt. Today, the 40-hectare Bent Road property is home to vines, winery, wilderness and granite boulders, stretching along the pristine Severn River at more than 750 metres above sea level.
- It’s a surprisingly cool, continental corner of Queensland – one of the coolest growing regions in Australia – and that climate gives Glen’s wines their distinctive elegance, savoury spice and depth of flavour.
- La Petite Mort is Glen’s label – avant-garde, experimental and made for curious drinkers, these are wines that happily throw the rulebook out the window. Think extended skin contact, ancestral techniques and plenty of Glen’s scientific curiosity – resulting in seriously intriguing wines for those who like their next bottle to be a little bit different.
