Unleash Your Inner Distiller
Distichon Whisky is the proud brand for our Single Malt Whisky. Join us and look forward to impressing your friends with your newfound whisky knowledge. Indulge in a one-of-a-kind experience, filled with knowledge, fun, and of course, whisky magic. Our exclusive Whisky Making Experience is not just an event; it’s a journey into the heart of crafting the perfect amber spirit. 🥃
The Art of Whisky Crafting
Go behind the scenes and get hands-on with the traditional distilling process:
- Barley Malting: Explore the essential malting process of barley.
- Grain Milling: Mill grains into a Grist ready for brewing.
- Mashing: Immerse yourself in the mashing process to create a flavourful wort.
- Fermentation: Transfer the wort into the fermenter and pitch the yeast.
- The Spirit Run: Participate in the spirit run, experiencing the art of heads, hearts, and tails cuts, and capturing the New Make Spirit ready for ageing. ⚗️
This immersive experience lasts between 4 to 5 hours of pure distilling passion.
A Feast for the Senses
But that’s not all! Treat your taste buds to a curated selection of food and drinks throughout the day: 🧀
- Welcome tea, coffee, or soft drink paired with a fresh pastry.
- Mouthwatering charcuterie and cheese grazing boards.
- Guided tastings of 5 exquisite whiskies.
- A delicious platter of hot food items and freshly made pizza.
- A delectable, hand-crafted whisky cocktail.
- Your choice of a favourite whisky to complement the experience.
Exclusive Guest Benefits
Enjoy 20% off purchases of Distichon Whisky and Puss & Mew products on the day. A bottle is not included in the experience. We’ll contact you when the whisky you helped make is available to purchase, with a discount offered at that time. The new make spirit must mature in a barrel for at least two years before it can be called whisky. Barrelling may take place a few months after your experience while we collect enough new make spirit to fill the barrel, so the two-year ageing period starts from barrelling, rather than the date of your class. Release timing will depend on maturation.
Looking for a truly special gift? Consider owning your own cask!
Don’t miss out on this memorable adventure. Numbers are strictly restricted to 12 people per class to ensure an intimate, hands-on experience. Book your spot now and savour every moment of whisky-making mastery!

Followed by a great lunch where we tasted various whiskeys and gins and got to chat amongst the other attendees- it was a great experience - and although I purchased this as a gift for my husband and not being a whiskey drinker myself, I actually learnt how to taste it properly and thoroughly enjoyed every whiskey tasted. I think I’m a convert!
Thanks again, Brett and Deb and congrats on all the well deserved gold winnings! We look forward to drinking both coconut gins!
Brett and Deb were fabulous hosts - we drank gin, learned about gin, made gin and sampled more gin while eating delicious food. I can’t wait for my precious bottle to mature enough to drink! A great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday in beautiful surrounds - but a word of warning - don’t drive yourself to the class!!!
Highly recommend- as a gift to others or yourself.
A hidden gem and as we can easily catch the bus - we will return!

This venue is easily accessible by public transport from city and surrounds!
Everyone said the food and drinks were amazing, although I was too distracted to eat! We're looking forward to going back one day for one of their gin masterclasses.
you don't have to be a Gin drinker but it probably helps.
The food is pretty good, great pizzas and the calamari is a must. The charcuterie platters were a bit sparce considering the price.
The atmosphere is great, comfortable seating options to keep everyone happy. But it can get quite noisy when there are a few groups at the same time.
My only criticism is the size of the shots in drinks. The tasting paddle of 3 different gins with matching tonics is great but each shot is only 15ml.
The cocktails are the same. Most other places serve 30ml shots, so it seems that you are only getting half a drink but paying full price.
It is a bit disappointing as every other aspect of the distillery is fine.
That was the consensus of everyone in our group.
Not sure if we will be back :(
They also run a Masterclass where you get to make your own gin! Great stories about the history of gin making, tour their facilities and enjoy a great lunch.
Brett and Deb are gracious hosts and always willing to guide your gin journey.
The class is capped at 10 people, therefore making for an intimate experience. The food provided was absolutely delicious and generous portion sizes; so much so that we couldn't even finish everything. The complimentary gin tasting that accompanied the food platters was fantastic and I loved tasting some of their Gold Medal awarded Gins. I'll definitely be back with friends to enjoy Gin cocktails and soak up the atmosphere. Keep up the fantastic work Deb and Brett. Cheers, Tonya
Highlights:
- Brett and Deb’s passion for what they do really shines (and they have some great stories!)
- Learning about the botanicals and selecting your own personal blend (not nearly as daunting as you’d think!)
- Gin tasting of P&M gins with yummy charcuterie board
- Delicious (and generous) lunch!
- Meeting other lovely people :)
- Super cool venue
Negatives:
- None!
Can’t wait to try my own personal gin creation soon! Thank you!
From the warm smile greeting, the good grazing platter and fresh pizza, then there is the Gin. If you only go for the Gin, just go.
I will be back with more friends.
Much appreciated, Ashley ????
Extensive menu of delicious food to suit all tastes.
Service was excellent, very friendly and competent staff. The food orders were surprisingly fast despite it being busy .
Cheese platters were huge with a lovely variety of cheeses and meats.
Thanks for a fun night, I will definitely be coming back.
Would I come back? Yes, it's cute, and a fun catchup place for friends
Bar staff were unfortunately not very organised and there was a bit of confusion.
But otherwise super friendly and nice grazing foods for our event.
The staff are all friendly and helpful, the snacks to share were all tasty as well!
