Christmas Hours 〰️
Thank you for being part of our distillery story in 2025 - for popping in, cheering us on, sharing a drink with friends, and choosing to support our small business. It’s been a year of opportunity, laughter, learning and new beginnings at Hepburn Distillery.
May your days be merry, your glasses never empty and your festive table well stocked with good spirits (in every sense of the word). Whether it’s gin, vodka or whiskey, we hope something from our stills finds its way into your Christmas celebrations.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with great company, good cheer and even better drinks.
Cheers! From Brett, Michelle and the Hepburn Distillery family x
CRAFTED IN THE HEART OF DAYLESFORD
Hepburn Distillery began with the idea of LOCAL - working with the wonderful producers in our region to create spirits that are totally UNIQUE. As the new owners, we are determined to continue this legacy.
Wherever we can, we source local, seasonal and organic ingredients to give our premium gins and vodkas their full-bodied flavours.
SUSTAINABILITY is at the heart of every decision we make from the food miles of our ingredients to the rainwater collected from our roof that we use in all our products and processes. We also feed the leftover pulp from our potato vodka and whiskey to local pigs.
To offset our carbon emissions we also support 15 Trees, who plant trees through Victorian Landcare groups.
We are a family owned and run distillery, with our 4 adult children often helping out on the weekend. What you drink has been lovingly created from a passion for quality, flavour and the beautiful region we call home.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
The majority of distilleries in Australia make their products by buying in bulk alcohol, diluting and flavouring it. At Hepburn Distillery we believe that every part of the distilling process makes a difference. That is why we ferment and distil all our own alcohol from scratch using organic ingredients (where we can) and rainwater.
All our products are triple-distilled for smoothness and many are steeped for months and years to impart the full flavour that we know you love.
If high-street alcohol brands are white bread - we are the equivalent of an artisan sourdough bakery. We test and balance each batch we make to ensure it is of the highest quality - that’s why we make premium spirits.
Taste the difference that love and passion produce. Savour the spirit of Hepburn.
Thank you & Farewell Basil!
Hepburn Distillery has been a true labour of love built from the ground up by Basil and his family over the past five years. Through his vision, craftsmanship, and dedication to using our region’s finest local produce, Basil has created something truly special — a distillery known for its authenticity, creativity, and award-winning gins, vodkas, and whiskeys.
We acknowledge the heart, hard work, and countless hours Basil has poured into every bottle, every tasting, and every conversation shared across the bar. His passion for quality and community has shaped Hepburn Distillery into what it is today.
While Basil takes a well-deserved break (and turns his attention to building a house!), we’re delighted that he’ll remain part of the distillery family — mentoring new owners Brett and Michelle, and popping in to host workshops and masterclasses from time to time.
To Basil — thank you for your generosity, wisdom, and the incredible foundation you’ve built.
