Nature infused, rugged and timeless, the essence of this Whisky.
Kinglake was always a strange and wild place. Steep muddy roads and dense, towering gum-trees made it all but impossible to reach. Goldmines, timber mills, tramways and even people have all been swallowed up by the great forests. Local legend tells of strange creatures that hide in the woods.
Kinglake Whisky is made with the distillery doors open. Nature influences every stage of process, from the unfiltered mountain spring water to the local pollen and yeast. The result is a whisky that could only be made in Kinglake.
Bourbon, port and sherry barrels are all individually re-coopered to our requirements. Smaller casks are perfectly suited to ageing conditions in the Kinglake Ranges. We are also experimenting with local native timbers.
Our off-grid whisky distillery was specially designed to take advantage of its rural location.Â
