Luke McCarthy, one of the best researched brains in the world of Australian spirits will delve into the history of distilling and Whisky production in Ballarat and surrounds. Learn about the grains used, production methods, styles produced and the people who made it. Luke will also be discussing Goldfields drinking culture, from sly grog shops and tents to drinking rituals and favourite libations.
Guests will be handed a cocktail on arrival, inspired by a famous mid-19th century punch. Itinerant Spirits head distiller James Fairlie will be guiding guests through a tasting of Vansetter Vodka, their new-make spirit and currently maturing Wayfarer Whiskey. Every guest will also receive a copy of Luke’s recently published book, ‘Forgotten Spirits: A History of the Distilling Industry in Victoria’.
