Every spirit we produce is inspired by the here and now; a homage to the beautiful cities and regions of Australia.
About us
Australian Distilling Co.’s beginnings are a matter of history. It was 1936 when Alan R. Hickinbotham established the country’s and one of the world’s first degrees dedicated to winemaking. His passion for crafting refined wine and spirits has maintained across generations. Now, his grandson – Michael Hickinbotham – continues the tradition under the Australian Distilling Co. name. While our roots are traditional, our approach is not. Every spirit we produce is inspired by the here and the now; an homage to the beautiful cities and regions of Australia. A life of travelling the country has left an indelible impression on us. By crafting spirits that embody the character of distinctive locales, we hope to share our sense of connection with you. In every sip, there is something that speaks of the special nature of the spirit’s namesake place – how the light falls, the energy on the streets, the humming of the quiet, in-between spaces. The only way to truly capture the essence of a place is to create within it. Our master distiller partnered with local distilleries across the country and explored local ingredients to create flavours that embrace the spirit of the city or region. Through this approach, we have ensured every bottle says something about the community that inspired it. We do things this way because we believe that crafting premium spirits is an ongoing journey – one that has its roots in history, is grounded in the present, and looks to the future. Cheers to that.

🏆 Elevate your bar shelf with these top 31-40 picks from the 2024 Top 100 Spirits list! 🍸 Elijah Craig Barrel Proof C923 | 95 Points Tasting Notes: Delicious creamy, notes of butterscotch intertwined with the wood and bursting fruit. Would be fantastic in a restrained Old Fashioned. 🍸 Antico | 95 Points Tasting Note: Aromas of herbs, roots, and woods open up to a balanced palate of sugar and botanicals. The finish is medium with the woody notes lingering over the sweetness. Great vermouth with lots of fruit and spice. 🍸 Jones 1778 Navy Strength | 95 Points Tasting Notes: Juniper, woody, tannic on the nose. The mouthfeel is hot and tingly in the best way possible, with wormwood, orange, and anise shining through. 🍸 St Hubertus | 95 Points Tasting Notes: This is like a better version of fernet. The menthol is welcoming and rounded, lending to the great viscosity. It lingers on the palate for just enough time and would make for a fun ingredient to play with. 🍸 Cask Strength Bourbon | 94 Points Tasting Notes: Cherries, vanilla, and chocolate with a bit of mint on the nose. Sweet, hot rye aftertaste of lingering lemon. 🍸 No. 01 Tonic Water | 94 Points Tasting Notes: Subtle lime flavor making it an easily mixed tonic. 🍸 No. 05 Dry Ginger Ale | 94 Points Tasting Notes: Low heat & ginger with a touch of salinity. Orange peel on the tongue. 🍸 Islands8 | 94 Points Tasting Notes: Botanicals are soft and well-balanced, with a nice bit of eucalyptus on the finish. A delightful bouquet that would be fun to mix with. 🍸 Tasmania Gin | 94 Points Tasting Notes: Bouquet of citrus and floral notes, especially lavender on this new world gin. Strong start, with flavor dissipating as it finishes. Reminiscent of spring garden in bloom! 🍸 Australian Distilling Co. Vodka | 94 Points Tasting Notes: The mildly grassy nose gives way to a full-bodied spirit that is creamy, and crisp, and a finish that ends quickly and clean.

WORLD’S BEST GIN: Wow! We’ve been named best in the world – again! Geelong Gin has been crowned best gin in the world, taking out the highest honour at the prestigious SIP Awards in Los Angeles with Best of Class – Platinum and the Consumers Choice Awards. This comes only two years after Adelaide Gin achieved the same accolade. SIP is the world’s most competitive spirits competition. It’s the only internationally-recognised awards program that uses real consumers – rather than professional tasters – as its judging panel. We’re thrilled to receive this recognition from the audience who matters most to us – people who drink gin. Our story has been shared by media nationally including Geelong Advertiser, The Advertiser Adelaide, Glam Adelaide and TheShout.
