Our Story
Mother of Pearl, is a premium grape vodka inspired by Australia’s pristine waters, blending coastal minerality with a smooth, creamy, pearl-like finish. It is Australia’s ‘vodka of the sea’ redefining Australia’s premium vodka market.
Crafted by hand using Australian premium reserve grapes, this fresh and youthful vodka is soft and rounded on the palate, distilled using only the purest mineral water, with a refined 40% alcohol content.
The brainchild of hotelier and restaurateur Nic Hancock and international fashion brand director Nicola Thompson-Hancock, the Mother of Pearl story started while visiting a friends oyster farm in Australia’s far north.
We were completely in awe of the majestic and sheer natural beauty of the area. As we learnt more about the pristine environment required to create the perfect pearl from the Pinctada oyster shell, the importance of water quality and the perfect balance of elements, it all fell into place to create a vodka complementing the Australian South Sea Pinctada Pearls

Meet Elaine
To continue the age-old distilling tradition of naming stills we felt it only fitting to name Mother of Pearl’s 1000ltr stainless steel pot still ELAINE. Elaine was Nicola’s (Mother of Pearl’s Co-Founder) grandmother, she was a pint-sized powerhouse. ELAINE’s namesake stands at 4.5m high and gracefully towers above all that stand next to her.
