Since 1853, the MCG has been a place of connection. A special meeting place where the hallowed turf is more than just a cornerstone – it warrants its very existence.

The catalyst for this unique Mountain Goat x MCG collaboration would come on a quintessential summer afternoon in Melbourne; cricket commentary becoming white noise as MCG Grounds person, Nick, and brother-in-law and Mountain Goat Distiller, Brad, mused – what if we could make a spirit that celebrated the MCG’s hallowed turf.

Inspired by the aromas of expertly mown grass and the native botanicals of surrounding Yarra Park, 1853 is a herbaceous, vibrant and aromatic gin that captures the essence of this special place of connection in every sip.
