Story | Bathurst Grange Distillery

Bright future steeped in history

The Grange’s story goes back nearly 200 years. Famous characters, hard work and Aussie ingenuity are built into its walls, work sheds and historic graveyard. It’s one of the few privately owned colonial homes listed by the NSW Office of State Heritage.

It’s about to be home of the best whisky in Australia too, the world even. We bet the Jones Family Farm on it.
