To celebrate the 30th anniversary of West Coast’s mesmerising 1994 premiership, Subiaco distillery Spirit of Little Things has crafted a limited-run, collectible gin in honour of the club’s second flag.
Resonant with native WA botanicals, the ‘94 West Coast Eagles Premiership gin is a tribute to the team who outclassed Geelong in the grand final 30 years ago.
Loyal West Coast fan and Spirit of Little Things head distiller, Tom Martin, is confident the gin captures the zeitgeist of the era with its resonant mix of native WA botanicals — which includes the heady aroma of the Geraldton Wax flower.
The 700ml gin’s (40% ABV) eye-catching packaging features the entire ’94 premiership team in their playing positions, along with a summary of the key moments of the game that led to the Eagles capturing their second flag and West Coast great Dean Kemp winning the Norm Smith medal.
Tom says the Little Things ’94 West Coast Premiership gin can be consumed immediately or displayed as part of a collection, and is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside West Coast to produce such a unique piece of sporting memorabilia.

Former Eagles players Ashley McIntosh and Tony Evans came by the Spirit of Little Things distillery to reminisce on the Eagle’s inaugural premiership and to test the Anniversary Gin for themselves. The Little Things team even put them to work – with each former player labelling a few bottles.
When asked about the most memorable aspects of the game, Ash recalled that he and the boys started with a bit of nervous energy – “I mean, there were 100,000 people screaming.” He credits this nervousness as the reason for Geelong pulling ahead early.
Tony expanded on the Eagles' first-half deficit, “Geelong got out to twenty-eight points up and were looking fairly dangerous, but we steadied and went into half-time ten points down. To be perfectly honest, there wasn’t any panic. In fact, there was a certain calm – a feeling that Geelong had rolled the dice, played their best footy and we were only ten points down. We really felt like we hadn’t even got going. After the half-time break, we went out and got on top of them and dominated."
The Eagles’ 1992 premiership was the first time the trophy had left Victoria. Tony summed up the legacy of his team's victory – "What you’re left with is the bond and friendship of everyone who was at the club and the shared experience we had with our supporters.”
