Kinglake Distillery is located at 410 O’Grady’s Road, Kinglake in central Victoria close to the Yarra Valley.
The area is steeped in history, from the first Europeans settlers in 1835, to gold prospectors, living in shacks around the mountain creeks followed by the lumberjacks tearing into the forests in search of the giant Mountain Ashes. It’s here where you’ll find co-founders Chantal Daniels (a third generation Kinglaker) and Sam Lowe, quietly plying their trade on their 2500 litre copper pot-still that was handmade by Tasmania’s premier still-maker Knapp Lewer. Their water source is from a mountain stream rising on the distillery property, it’s natural, pure and totally unfiltered and 80% of their barley is farmed and malted in New South Wales where each grower is known to them personally.
