In the pristine, untamed waters off Streaky Bay, the Guidera family dives for wild green-lipped abalone in places like Smooth Pool. It’s a dangerous harvest — sharks, surging swells, and the cold, deep ocean. From the Guidara’s catch, we take the whole shell, breaking it into pieces and placing it in the still pot.
Product introduction
Smooth Pool Gin with Abalone Shell is an award-winning Australian craft gin inspired by the pristine and untamed waters off Streaky Bay on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.
Wild green-lipped abalone is harvested from local waters by the Guidera family. Pieces of the cleaned whole shell are placed in the still with cucumber, Tasmanian pepperberry, orange zest, coriander seed and traditional gin botanicals.
The abalone shell gives the gin a clean, subtle minerality—a gentle whisper of the Southern Ocean—balanced by citrus, pepper and fresh cucumber. Smooth Pool Gin is a tribute to courage, craftsmanship and the wild coastal beauty of Streaky Bay.
Why it makes a wonderful gift
Smooth Pool Gin with Abalone shell is an exceptional gift for adventurous gin drinkers, seafood lovers, divers and people who appreciate truly unusual Australian ingredients.
The use of locally harvested abalone shell gives it a distinctive Streaky Bay story that is easy to share when giving the bottle. It makes a sophisticated birthday, Christmas, Father’s Day, retirement or corporate gift and is especially suitable for someone who loves oysters, seafood or the ocean.
Free gift wrapping can be added when ordering through our website.
