Imagine a slice of banoffee pie and gooey banana bread, but in liquid form. The concept of making a banana liqueur made from real bananas with no fake banana flavour additives started as an experiment way back in 2017. After a few failed starts and many, many gloopy messes, we put the project in the 'too hard' basket and it sat on the sidelines.

Seven years later, in 2024 we decided to pull this project out of the woodwork and try another flavour extraction method we'd read about in an old cookbook. It still involves a lot of gloopy messes along the way, but the end result is a thick and tasty liqueur with enough banana 'oomph' to send monkeys and monkey-wannabes into a frenzy. In fact, each 500ml bottle of Banana Liqueur contains five bananas.

To make this decadent liqueur, we cut up ripe QLD grown bananas, keeping both skin and flesh. One portion of bananas is very slowly cooked with sugar for 12 hours until the distillery smells like banana cake. The remainder is infused in cane spirit and distilled. After several rounds of messy filtration, we combine the syrup and the spirit then let it rest and develop in complexity.

The gloopy solids that remain in the filter bag are rather tasty. Instead of throwing the leftovers away, we give them to a cookie factory next door to turn into banana cookies.

As with all of our limited edition liqueurs, this one is bottled in up-cycled spirit bottles collected from bars which we've cleaned, de-labelled and polished prior to filling.

Limited edition: This first batch yielded less than 100 bottles.

Important note: While we have filtered this liqueur several times, it does still have a lot of suspended (flavourful) particulates. This means it is quite murky. We know this might freak some people out, but fear not, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your bottle. It just happens to have a ton of flavour inside. We recommend shaking the bottle prior to serving to mix up all the goodness.

Contains precisely 0.0% artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Vegan friendly (we don't use any animal products nor processes throughout). Gluten free.

Tasting notes

On the nose there's bucketloads of ripe banana interlaced with notes of vanilla.

On the palate you'll be greeted with some sweetness upfront followed by a wave of banoffee pie, banana bread and roasted bananas. It's thick, decadent and syrup-like and has the strength to stand out in a cocktail.

On the finish, you'll experience a sweet ending that lingers for a while, but not too long. If you had preconceived notions of this ending the same way as candy bananas, don't worry - there's none of the fake banana flavour additives here.
