With tonic

We put our Lemon Myrtle Gin into its first national competition and it came home with two silver medals. One judged neat, one judged with tonic, both tasted blind by industry judges. Medals cannot be bought or influenced, which is exactly why they matter to us.

Winning two silver medals in our very first national competition is incredibly encouraging. It tells us we are on the right path.

First release · expected April 2028

Our First Whisky

New make went into oak on 6 March 2026. Australian standards say whisky must rest in wood for two years before it can carry the name, so the first bottles cannot leave the shed before 6 March 2028. This clock is counting down to that day. Release is expected around 6 April 2028.

  • Five casks: one recoopered in the Adelaide Hills, four that held port for four years and then Tasmanian whisky. Second-fill oak is gentler, which suits the Queensland climate.
  • Filled at the shed on Duporth Avenue and resting there now.
  • The first release comes from barrel one alone, about 90 litres in all. When it is spoken for, that is it until the next casks come of age.

Buy in advance

Advance purchases at a discount on the release price open shortly. Register your interest and you will hear first, before it is announced anywhere else.

Register for a bottle

No payment and no commitment. Bottles are allocated in order of registration. Registering does not guarantee one of the first bottles, but it puts you in the queue from today.

Taste it as it grows up

Everyone who registers or buys in advance is invited to a free tasting at the distillery each time the whisky is tested during maturation. Try it straight from the cask, see how it changes, and talk to the distiller who is caring for it during its journey through the oak. Over 18s only.

At the Mouth of the Maroochy River —

Hidden off Duporth Avenue, down a lane behind Corbins, there is a twenty five square metre shed with a 120 litre pot still in it. That is the whole distillery.

We start with what grows here, botanicals from our own garden, from neighbours and from friends’ farms, and we work slowly until the spirit is worth putting a label on.

  • Pure heart cut. No shortcuts, and no recycling of heads and tails. Every bottle is the clean middle of the run.
  • Plants, not flavourings. Nothing artificial goes in. Where we can, we grow the botanicals ourselves.
  • A working distillery. Drop in and you will usually see the still running and fruit being peeled. If you are curious, just ask.

Slide 1
" What I love most about The Law Distillery is just how unlikely it all feels—in the best possible way. Tucked into a tiny shed hidden in the middle of a business area,  it’s a laboratory where you can buy world-class spirits in a space that feels more like a friend’s workshop than a distillery, I love local secrets.  You won't buy from a bottle shop again!
