David Vitale, founder, started off with a simple vision; create a uniquely Australian whisky. Born and bred in Melbourne, he was inspired to create a spirit that reflects his home town from its culture to its famed four seasons in a day temperature swings. It is a city surrounded by some of Australias leading wine regions all within a days drive and is regarded as the microbrewing capital of Australia.
