In an exhilarating development, Goodradigbee Distillers opens the doors to its state-of-the-art Brookvale distillery bar, The Good Bar, and cellar door today.
This innovative distillery takes a novel approach to spirit maturation, eschewing traditional oak barrels in favour of accelerated maturation cubes made from Australian hardwoods, creating a completely new spirits category. With a higher wood-to-liquid volume than spirits matured in oak barrels, the process results in a distinctively Australian spirit.
The Australian hardwoods, handpicked by Goodradigbee Distillers, include Jarrah, Ironbark Yellow, Ironbark Red and Tasmania Blackwood. Sourced from the Alps and the high country, these woods are hardened and dense due to the extreme weather conditions, leading to an intense and transformative interaction with the spirits. The result is a range of hardwood malt spirits that are sweet, complex, and nothing short of revolutionary.
Goodradigbee Distillers also offer wood-infused gins like Sweetwater Gin, native botanical gins like Freshwater Gin and the complex pink Blush Gin, along with Orchard Road Dry. Their Grey Gum Vodka, aged in Grey Ironbark and double distilled, further exemplifies the influence of hardwood on their spirits portfolio.
The use of Indigenous ingredients sourced from Bush to Bowl, adds an authentic Australian touch
