Corowa Distilling Co. is in the heart of Corowa, a town with a history dating back to the 1840s. It's more than a brand. It's about tradition, family, and passion. It is more than a place. It's known as the 'birthplace' of Australian Federation. The people here united for a common cause. Their strong community voice still echoes today.
The Murray River once powered Corowa's Flour Mill. It was a key part of the town, shipping grains around the world. But it closed in 1970, leaving the town quiet.
Four decades later, two men with a love for whisky and footy had a dream. They wanted to turn the old mill into a whisky distillery. Many thought it was a bold, even odd, idea. But they saw potential.
The town council sold the mill to them for just one dollar. This was a promise to bring the mill back to life. They wanted to put Corowa on the world map.
The company is committed to local sourcing. Their whisky flavours come from Australia. They use local grains, Murray River water, and locally-made copper stills.
Their whisky journey went beyond Australia. They learned from Scotland and Tasmania. Their goal was not just to copy but to innovate. They mix tradition with new ideas. This gives the world a fresh type of whisky.
Corowa Distilling Co. invites everyone to more than just a tasting. It's an experience. It shows the importance of community and the land's history. Their whisky tells stories of resilience, ambition, and unity.
