Pillars of great Single Malt Whisky
Barley
Growing barley on our property using historic and grains to cultivate a unique style full of unique flavour and interesting charaturistics. Vertical integration of our farm distillery allows for greater quality control.
Casks
Our casks are sourced from Australia’s leading
cask supplier of used whisky barrels. We carefully select each cask so to cultivate our unique flavour for our whisky. We cooper and fire casks onsight at our distillery.
Copper Stills
Big Bell is the name of our custom designed and built still,
which sits alongside
our still for R&D. Join us for a distillery tour to see it for yourself.
Maturation
Our casks are aged 700m above sea level in Bathurst’s famously fluctuating weather, expanding and contracting in the extreme temperatures to infuse the flavours more intensely. The result? Some of the finest Australian whisky.

Making History
The inspiration for becoming distillers lies in the traditions and history of The Grange. The land is rich in nature's gifts and has a deep history as a colonial home and this history inspires us to respect the West family and many other early settlers of this land west of the Blue Mountains.
The pioneers of this country who settled and built a new life for themselves and their families and to the history of the first nations whose country as they knew it was lost as it was transformed and destroyed by the modern world and eager settlers. We respect your land and the deep connection you have with the ancient land.
The pioneers and all who have dared farm since have learnt the hard way the challenge of dealing with the tempest of nature that is the Australian climate.
