Barking Owl Distilling Co.

Barking Owl Distilling Co is a craft distillery located in a 1950s shearing shed in beautiful Wooragee, nestled between Beechworth and Yackandandah.

Established in 2018 the distillery produces a range of small-batch gin, vodka, liqueurs and brandy with a distinctly local bent. The spirits are a true example of a grain to glass business with products being created primarily from local raw grains, fruit and botanicals.

The Barking Owl still house is a unique destination giving visitors an authentic small distillery experience with tastings, tours, bottle sales and bar service. Spend some time enjoying the original shearing shed environment with a cocktail or drink, chat with Dave and Jen and learn about experimenting, botanicals, distilling and the joys of the North East region.

While you’re there check out the beautiful ceramics made by Jen from Woolshed Ceramics who is the true creative engine of the Barking Owl operation.

Spirits include Rye Vodka, Distillers Dry Gin, Bathtub Gin, Tuscan Gin, Garden Gin, the crowd-pleasing Black Russian Coffee Liqueur and cyclists favourite Hot Winter Gin.
