Mandrake Cucumber & Mint Gin 40.4% 700ml

Meet Mandrake — Nosferatu's mischievous younger brother. Walk into the forest if you dare, but watch where you put your feet.

The mandrake root, or 'Mandragora Officiarum', is a thing of danger and mischief. Folklore says the root screams when pulled from the ground, killing anyone unfortunate enough to hear its cries; ingest it and you'll find delirium and madness. But, hey, who believes in folklore?

The mandrake tale takes its cues from folklore and cinema — Harry Potter fans will be familiar with the Mandrake seedlings scene from the Chamber of Secrets. The cries aren't fatal here, but capable of knocking you out for a few hours.

Inspired by this legend, our small-batch Mandrake Cucumber & Mint Gin melds Albanian juniper with cucumber, mint, coriander seed and liquorice root. We've taken the bad stuff out and left the good stuff in.

A spectacular Australian-made Cucumber & Mint Gin.

40.4% ABV. 700ml.

About Nosferatu Distillery.

Queensland (Bowen Hills, Brisbane) ·Est. 2018

Nosferatu Distillery is a Brisbane gin and vodka producer founded in May 2018, originally from Melbourne and now operating from Bowen Hills with a vintage caravan as its early-days mascot. The brand draws on the 1922 silent-film adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula — Nosferatu — for its naming and label aesthetic. The current range covers a sequence of botanical-led gins (Mandrake Cucumber & Mint, Blood Orange, Giselle Pavlova, Bunyip Sticky, Dead Dry) and a Vodka, sold across the eastern Australian craft-spirits trade.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs Nosferatu Distillery

Queensland (Bowen Hills, Brisbane)

Nosferatu Distillery launched in May 2018, founded by a team whose interests spanned arts and bartending — particularly Pimm's, Campari, and gin. The original operation was Melbourne-based and used a vintage caravan as a mobile cellar door for events; the distillery later migrated north to Bowen Hills in Brisbane, where it now operates with a permanent bar and tasting room. The brand identity riffs on the 1922 German silent film Nosferatu, an unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula — every gin is named after a film or literary horror reference.

The current range is gin-led: Mandrake Cucumber & Mint Gin, Blood Orange Gin (the most-recognised release at multiple ABV strengths), Giselle Pavlova Gin (a botanical-floral expression), Bunyip Sticky (a sweetened gin), Dead Dry Gin (the standard London Dry expression), plus a vodka. ABV strengths run from 37.5% to 40.4% across the range. The distillery's brand personality is theatrical and trade-side accessible; the Brisbane bar location pairs the production-side work with direct hospitality.
