On the Grid : Whipper Snapper Distillery
"If you’re talking hidden gems, this is the shiniest of them all. Moonshiny, even! (Sorry.) It’s not everyday you uncover a distillery tucked away in a railway-sided street amongst warehouses and workshops. Whipper Snapper Distillery make premium small-batch moonshine and whiskey from all-Australian ingredients. Their story started with two bomber pilots during WWII: an American who shared a recipe with an Australian. Fifty years of backshed distilling later, veteran Vic shared both his memoirs and moonshine expertise with a young neighbour Al – one of the trio of whipper snappers who further refined the recipes that you can sample and purchase today. Open daily for tastings and coffee. Also ask about their distillery tours and whiskey workshops." - Studio Bomba
