Sharing the juicy production goss with head Brewer and Distiller Aimee

The journey to our upcoming Gin style Muscat Liquor release has been nothing short of exciting!

It all started when we decided to take our Classic Dry Gin to the next level. We laid it to rest in lightly charred 22L Bench Bandit Barrels, each one carefully seasoned with the rich, luxurious Muscat wine from our good friends at Pfeiffer’s in Rutherglen. As the long, hot days of summer rolled through, the barrels began to breathe, drawing in the air and interacting with the gin in ways we couldn’t have imagined. This intense exchange accelerated the aging process, deepening the flavours and enhancing the contact between the Muscat and gin, transforming it into something truly unique.

After just 2.5 months, we noticed something incredible – the swift aging had softened some of the gin’s bright citrus and floral notes, rounding out its profile. But we weren’t done yet! To bring back a touch of the gin’s lively character, Aimee worked her magic, carefully refreshing one of the barrels with a splash of our Classic Dry Gin. The result? A perfect balance of smooth, rich flavours with that signature burst of freshness.

Now, let’s talk taste. Picture warm, golden scones fresh from the oven, rich with the sweetness of golden raisins, all served up with a dollop of citrusy juniper butter. That’s the magic we’ve captured in every drop of our Muscat Gin.

We can’t wait for you to taste it, but stay tuned – this exciting release is almost here!

Sharing the Brand Story behind our Newest Release: Strathbogie Select Whiskey

Nestled in the heart of the Strathbogie Ranges, where the land meets the river, our whiskey is crafted with the precision and care that only the rugged beauty of this region can inspire. We are driven by a passion for the everyday drinker, promoting accessibility for all – a whiskey that invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, all while savouring the nuanced flavours of something truly special.

Our journey begins with the land and the water – two elements that define the essence of Strathbogie. Drawing inspiration from the nearby riverbanks, our whiskey is a reflection of the landscape: vibrant, raw, and true to its roots.100% Victorian Malted Barley mash is fermented onsite using Australian Yeast. The mash is then double distilled in our 200L Copper Pot Still, imparting a subtle yet distinctive character that sets our whiskey apart. We carefully separate the feints and foreshots, leaving only the purest heart cut. This commitment to precision ensures that only the most premium, refined liquid ever touches our barrels.

Each batch is aged in 110L ex-Wild Turkey bourbon casks, imported directly from America. These casks, with their deep, rich history, offer a perfect home for our whiskey to evolve. Resting in our Whisky Den, on the eastern wall where the light and conditions are just right, this whiskey has been aged for 36 months, slowly developing its complex flavours. The casks breathe in the cool Victorian air, infusing our spirit with notes of blood orange peel and subtle clover, while maintaining the distinct smoothness and character that define our house style.

At the heart of our whiskey is the crafts(wo)manship of Aimee Cahill, our master distiller. Aimee’s whiskey journey began with time spent in the mountains of Japan, where she honed and refined her skills in balance and heritage. Her ingredients-driven approach, influenced by her time in Japan and her Irish heritage, has shaped her palate for whiskey like no other. This perfect blend of technique and tradition is the ideal reflection of Aimee’s meticulous crafts(wo)manship and dedication to creating a whiskey that not only honours the land but elevates the craft itself. Every drop is a testament to her passion, evolution from cheffing to distiller, and the fine balance she strives to achieve in every bottle.

Our house style is a carefully crafted blend of our barrels, each contributing to the unique character of our whiskey. However, as always, there are stand-out barrels that capture something truly exceptional. Keep your eyes peeled for our special releases, including single malt+single cask, or fortified finishes, each offering a rare glimpse into the depth and complexity of our craft. While our bourbon cask finish remains the beating heart of our whiskey, rest assured, she has some fun sisters that bring individuality and flair to our small batch specialty releases. These limited editions offer a fresh perspective, showcasing our distillery’s creativity and passion for pushing boundaries while maintaining the balance and integrity that define us. Each bottle tells its own story, making every release an adventure in flavour.

The result is a whiskey that is as much about balance as it is about flavour. It’s approachable, yet full of depth – perfect for the everyday drinker who seeks more than just a drink but an experience. With every sip, you’re transported to the banks of the Strathbogie River, where the land, the water, and the spirit of the place come together in perfect harmony. This is our whiskey – nuanced, refined, and always a reflection of the place we call home.

Liking what you hear? We are too! 

Come give it a whirl in the venue now and toast to our newest addition!
