HURDLE CREEK STILL

A hidden gem tucked away in the King Valley the Hurdle Creek Still begun operation in March 2016.  

All products are made and bottled onsite in The StillHouse. The base spirit is made from locally sourced grain using a traditional infusion mashing system and twice distilled though our extended copper & glass column still, which gives the gin a unique smooth grain character - The Process. The juniper and a select blend of local and native botanicals - some of which are grown in the garden – are vapour infused into the spirit ensuing light, subtle flavours throughout our gins. 

This place is a must visit when in the North East of Victoria.
