A GIN THING

Noodledoof is one of those words that sticks in your mind … as does the taste of their gin that perfectly expresses the vibe of southwest Victoria. The brainchild of two mates, Sam ‘Noodles’ Rudolph and Alex ‘Doof’ Carr, who launched their craft brewery and distillery from scratch in Koroit in 2019, Noodledoof is also starting to use native botanicals. “It’s awesome to work with the guys just up the road at Worn Gundidj. As well as the gin, we’re working on a native citrus liqueur and a wattleseed coffee liqueur,” says Rudolph. “We like to keep things as local as possible.” noodledoof.com
