To commemorate Hawthorn’s highly anticipated 100-year anniversary in the VFL/AFL next season, the club is launching a special edition gin in collaboration with world-class distillery, Patient Wolf Distilling Co.  

The exciting offering comes off the back of Patient Wolf joining the brown and gold family as the club’s official gin partner.  

The limited-release product presents a unique opportunity to celebrate the Hawks’ special milestone, with Patient Wolf Distilling Co. developing a rare gin that represents the history of Hawthorn’s origins.  

To do this, Patient Wolf is sourcing local ingredients from iconic regions full of Hawthorn history, including south-east Melbourne and Glenferrie, to produce a flavourful yet meaningful keepsake for many loyal members of the brown and gold faithful. 

Hawthorn CEO Ash Klein said the club was proud to partner with Patient Wolf to produce this one-of-a-kind keepsake.  

“We are delighted to be partnering with Patient Wolf Distilling Co. to release a special-edition gin that encapsulates many elements of the Hawthorn spirit in honour of our 100-year anniversary,” Klein said. 

 “The opportunity to secure such a rare keepsake that embodies our club’s proud roots is quite special and we know many of our loyal members and fans will be eager to taste the unique flavour on offer. 

 “We look forward to continuing to celebrate our 100-year anniversary in the VFL/AFL throughout the 2025 season with many more exciting announcements to come.”  

 Patient Wolf Distilling Co. Founder Matt Argus echoed Klein’s sentiments.   

“We are thrilled to partner with Hawthorn Football Club. To mark 100 years of the club’s rich history, this gin is inspired by the club’s spirit and premiership legacy,” Argus said.  

“The limited-edition gin will be called Centenary Gin and will feature native Yellow Box Eucalyptus, which grows naturally around the parklands of the club’s spiritual home in Glenferrie Oval. 

 “The gin is to be enjoyed now or savoured for the future. Enjoy it throughout the season or put it away for that next premiership win, and it will make the perfect gift for any Hawks fan.”
