The Corowa Distilling Co. was established in 2010 and is located at 20-24 Steel St, Corowa NSW. Its founder, Dean Druce was brought up learning the family business of chocolate, wheat and liquorice in the small town of Junee, NSW. Dean and his father Neil have long shared an appreciation for quality whisky and learnt their craft from the well-known master distillers of Scotland.

The distillery is situated inside an abandoned flour mill purchased for $1.00 off the local council with the condition that it be restored to its former glory. The restored flour mill is also home to the Corowa Chocolate. It just doesn’t get better than whisky and chocolate production under the same roof – This is one distillery we must visit! ?

Master Distiller (Beau Achlig) is a welcome addition to the distillery as a bona fide local having been born and bred in the region giving the Corowa Distilling Co. a real connection with their local community. One of the distilleries aims is to create more jobs in and around Corowa and help stimulate the local economy through tourism. So far, 25 new jobs have been created to install their new still at the distillery. Corowa Distilling Co.’s first whisky was released in 2018, and their core range includes whiskies named after local people and places.
