Behind the Scenes with the Founders of Non Alcoholic Spirits

Free Spirits, is the game changer in the Non Alcoholic Category.

Taking by storm, creators of The award winning Banks Botanicals Distilled Spirit, launched in July 2021.

Banks Botanicals is the result of many months’ of planning, distilling, tasting and test-driving.

Co - Founder - Yolanda Uys, Brian Cohen and Frank De Palma wanted to create something that meet the consumer standards and to present Australia.

One of the Drive was Yarra Valley's reputation for pristine water and second to that is the abundance, diversity of quality with Native Botanicals.

With only 5 ingredients selected for their own flavour:

Wattleseed for it's nutty rich aroma
Lemon Myrtle for its fresh citrus notes
Limes for its floral citrus flavour
Cassia provides the cinnamon sweetness
Pepperberries for the spice

Banks Botanicals Distilled Spirits was created.

As the Non Alcoholic Beverage Sector continues to grow, consumers will be demanding for sophistication and quality.

According to the 2021 IWSR Drinks Market Analysis’ No- and Low-Alcohol Strategic Study, no- and low-alcohol volume in Australia increased by 2.9% last year and is expected to grow by 16% in the next three years.

As Yolanda Uys mentions, "When it comes to the changing face of the drinks market, behaviours are shifting, and people are looking for balance and moderation without the compromise. And we believe Banks Botanicals ticks all the boxes.”
