Some things just belong together, like the handcrafted spirits and the artisan cheeses. In Harvey Country, we’ve got St Dukes Distillery and Harvey Cheese, and the perfect combination of the two local products brings this harmonious combination to life.

These two local products really highlight the unique qualities of Western Australia. St Dukes and Harvey Cheese both use Western Australia’s local products, and they have a mutual appreciation of Western Australia’s natural products.

A Match Made in Harvey

At St Dukes Distillery, our story starts with Harvey Cheese. The partnership all began with the innovative approach of transforming whey, a by-product of cheesemaking, into exceptional spirits and then celebrating the union of sustainability and flavor.

The distilling and cheesemaking connection through the creation of vodka and gin whey products really demonstrates cheesemaking, distilling, and imaginative artistry as a community.

The Art of Pairing Cheese and Spirits

The artistry of pairing cheese with spirits revolves around the ideas of balance and contrast. A perfect pair can reveal a new spectrum of taste and texture that would have gone unnoticed.

Here are some ideas for your tasting night from St. Dukes x Harvey Cheese:  

*A1 Vodka + Harvey Fresh Cheddar*  

A1 Vodka has a clean, crisp taste, and, with its subtle sweetness, it complements the sharp, creamy Harvey Fresh Cheddar perfectly. The cheddar's boldness is emphasized without becoming overwhelming because of the vodka's smooth texture, making this a classic pairing for any occasion.  

*Harvey Dry Gin + Triple Cream Brie*  

Harvey Dry Gin is infused with locally sourced botanicals and our gin has a surprising yet perfect pairing in the soft, buttery richness of Triple Cream Brie. The gin has a strong dominant and refreshing citrus and herbal character which cuts the creamy richness of the brie, making for a refreshing balance.  

*Honey Cream Liqueur + Blue Cheese*  

For those with a more adventurous palate the combination of Honey Cream Liqueur with Blue Cheese is a must-try. This silky sweet liqueur paired with bold Blue Cheese creates a luxurious dessert-style combination.  

*Coffee Liqueur + Smoked Gouda*  

St. Dukes Coffee Liqueur has deep, roasted notes, making it the perfect pairing with the slight nuttiness and richness of Smoked Gouda. This is a bold combination which beautifully lingers on the palate, making it perfect for after dinner.
