Australian Single Malt + Blended + Rye Distillers Lists

January 3, 2014


To sit along side the lists of Australian Rum, Gin and Vodka and Vermouth here on the website, I’ve have compiled the following list of commercial producers Single Malt Whisky, Rye Whisky and blended Scotch and other expressions.

Many of these have established a reputation for world class spirits. I enjoy presenting the new wave of Aussie whisky/ whisky through a series of masterclasses I present at venues around Australia and telling the stories of the history of the spirit in Australia and the contemporary distillers journeys.

Some of these distillers are in the process of releasing their bottles, so may not have stock at time of publishing, please contact them directly.  

Also in some instances they are producers, rather than distillers, meaning that their spirits are made under contract by another distiller.
