Bakehouse Distillery

‘Evoke’ the majestic ancient rainforests of lutruwita/tasmania, in a bottle & it’s not a gin. Along with some fine woodfire baked sourdough breads.

At the Bakehouse Distillery in the Far South of Tasmania, we’re proud to have created the world’s first sassafras inspired spirit: Evoke. This small batch botanical spirit is hand-crafted using native Tasmanian sassafras, complemented by other locally grown botanicals and the purest and healthiest rainwater in the world.

Southern Sassafras has its roots in the rainforests of Gondwana and has continued to evolve from its ancient ancestors over the 55 million years since Tasmania separated from Antarctica. Evoke is inspired by the fragrances and flavours of this remote and windswept region, with its wild oceans and rivers, its raw and ancient wilderness.

Ever wondered if Far South Tasmania could be distilled and captured in a bottle? Wonder no more. We did it.

Evoke is a hand-crafted, small batch botanical spirit inspired by the raw and ancient wilderness of Far South Tasmania.

Distiller Martin Wohlgemuth embarked on a labour of love when he set out to see if he could capture the essence of this untamed island in a 700ml bottle. Inspired by a life-time association with and respect for Tasmania and its far south, Martin was compelled to source and experiment with the very best the area had to offer.

Evoke is created by distilling ancient native Southern Sassafras (Atherosperma moschatum) and blending it with other thoughtfully selected local botanicals and the highest quality Roaring Forties rain water. The result is a truly unique and local taste: Far South Tasmania distilled.

In keeping with Martin’s respect for this remote corner of the earth, his distillation processes are sustainable and light-touch.

To experience Evoke in its natural habitat, make the trek down south to visit us at Bakehouse Distillery in Dover, Tasmania.
