ONE DISTILLERY. TWO SIDES OF THE BUSINESS.

Whether you're creating Australia's next great gin, launching a premium vodka or scaling an established label, Outset Distilling provides the expertise, manufacturing and support to take your idea from concept to shelf.

Itinerant Spirits is our own spirits business. The Outset Custom Distilling Company is our dedicated contract distilling operation. Both operate from our Ballarat distillery, using the same production capability and drawing on the same team and experience. The difference is whose brand we're building.

Running our own spirits brands gives us a perspective that goes beyond production. We understand recipe development, packaging, margins, excise, distribution and what happens when a product actually reaches market.

We built The Outset to put that experience to work for other brands.

Same distillery. Same people. At The Outset, we're working on yours.

Many contract distillers simply manufacture what they're given. We go further. We ask the questions that protect your business.

Will this recipe scale?

Will those botanicals remain available?

Can that bottle actually be filled efficiently?

Will your margins work?

Can the product survive export?

Can excise and warehousing be managed properly?

These are the conversations that happen before production - not after.

We've helped build award-winning Australian spirits by combining world-class distilling with practical commercial experience, ensuring your product is ready not only to launch - but to grow.
