This inaugural release of Bellarine whisky was the first whisky to be made in the Geelong region since the closure of the Corio Distillery in the 1980’s.
In 2018 Ronald, our 800L copper pot still, was filled with its first ‘wash’ made from an Australian pale malted barley and a blend of ale and whisky yeasts. Two Pinot Noir barrels, sourced from local Scotchmans Hill winery, were emptied of the final vintage, re-coopered down to 100L then heavily charred. They were filled with the distillery’s first three spirit runs at a filling strength of 64% ALC/VOL
