They mention a fusion of Greek heritage with South Australian ingredients and produce small-batch distilled spirits for great occasions and memorable moments.

Production / Manufacturing

Adelaide Distillery focuses on small-batch production and the craftsmanship behind the spirits. The range includes gin, Oozo Liqueur, and a single-cask whisky.

Whisky

There is a 2025 SINGLE CASK WHISKY made from South Australian barley and slowly hand-distilled. The whisky was distilled in January 2018 and aged in a single ex-sherry cask. It is almost seven years old at its initial release and is described as a deep amber color with notes of honey-malted barley, toasted oak and orange zest, as well as caramel, dried fruit, and a warming, long finish. The production description also notes that it is a true small-batch South Australian whisky, lightly watered down and hand-bottled.
