Crafted On The Shores Of Western Port Bay

Hello,

Thank you for all your support, it’s been amazing to share new whiskies with all our customers.

Whilst it’s always great to see and read about the whisky coming out of Scotland we pull ourselves back to Australia and explore new releases here.

Westernport Distillery is very close to our Victorian office so it was only fitting that we should sample some of their single malt. What a great experience and the whisky they are producing is definitely full of flavour with wonderful texture and balance.

Today we delve into the Westernport Distillery selection. It could possibly be a great gift for dad on his important day. We hope you find something you like.

Back in 2018, two mates who share a passion for camping, dirt bike riding, fishing and other outdoor adventures were sitting around a campfire and made a life changing decision.  It was time to take their dream of making/crafting their own whisky into a reality.

Eager to start, they embarked on a whisky making course in Tasmania, immersing themselves in the art and science of distillation.  And boy was this a life changing experience!

Little did they know that this moment would set the stage for the birth of Westernport Single Malt Whisky, a journey seven years in the making.  They honed their skills, delving deep into the intricate nuances of both brewing and distillation.

Determined and undeterred, they broke ground for their distillery on a momentous day, June 25, 2018 in Blind Bight, on the shores of Westernport Bay in Victoria.

David and Scott decided that they wanted to create their whisky from beginning until the end.  The entire whisky making process is done by them.  They brew, distil, maturate, re-cooper and bottle the product themselves.  They even put the labels on the bottles and hand stamp the bottle stoppers.  They had to take a course in coopering to learn how to create the perfect barrel for their whisky. And they asked a local mate to make a branding stamp to burn their logo into the stoppers.

Welcome to the story of Westernport Distillery – where dreams come to life, and every bottle tells a tale.
