CRAFTED ABOVE THE CLOUDS
About Falls Creek Distillery
Falls Creek Distillery is a small-batch alpine distillery crafting premium gin inspired by the High Country’s rugged landscape, pure water, and rich mountain heritage.
Our Unique Location
Nestled in the heart of the Victorian High Country, Falls Creek Distillery is a celebration of alpine character, craftsmanship, and place. Born from a love of the mountains and a passion for exceptional spirits, we create small-batch gin that reflects the purity, ruggedness, and beauty of our surroundings.
Our distillery draws inspiration from the crisp mountain air, pristine alpine water, and the rich history of Falls Creek itself. Every bottle is carefully crafted using thoughtfully selected botanicals, balanced with precision, and distilled in limited quantities to ensure quality over volume.
The Founders Story
Brett Williams, the founder of Falls Creek Distillery, is a well-known local who absolutely adores Falls Creek – one incredible village that transforms into a top-notch ski resort during winter. You can even go mountain biking and take a refreshing dip in Rocky Valley Lake when the snow melts away.
Brett, being quite the enthusiast when it comes to spirits, had a little hobby of distilling. He couldn’t help but notice that Falls Creek was missing something special — a local distillery, to be exact.
So, after doing a ton of research, he got his hands on the historic Falls Creek Ticket Box. Back in the day, they used to sell lift tickets to skiers there in the 60s and 70s. Cool, huh?
With a few tweaks and modifications to the old hut, voila! Falls Creek Distillery was born. We’re all about quality. We use a copper reflux still to distill our products, putting loads of care and attention into creating the best stuff you can get your hands on.
Mountain Made
And that refined logo with the skier on it? It’s inspired by the vision of those fabulous female skiers who tore down the ungroomed Summit Run back in the day. They sure knew how to have a good time, enjoying a well-deserved drink by the fireplace after a long day on the slopes.
But here’s what makes Falls Creek so special—its water. Yep, it’s pure and comes straight from those majestic mountains. We use it from start to finish in the distilling process, along with native Alpine pepper berry and distilling at 1574m above sea level. This combination gives our gin that distinct Falls Creek flavor you won’t find anywhere else.
So, kick back, relax, and enjoy our fantastic gin. And as you savor a glass or two, take a moment to appreciate the classy pioneers who shaped Falls Creek into the amazing place it is today. Cheers!
