Choosing a Tasting Experience

For groups in Byron Bay who want to know how a spirit is made, Lord Byron Distillery opens up its whole process. The family-run business on Banksia Drive takes rum and gin from fermentation to bottle under one roof, and lists the ingredients on every label.

Ways to taste and learn at the Banksia Drive distillery:

Distillery tour: Lord Byron Distillery starts with a flight of three small pours from its cellar door range, then walks the group past the stills.
Gin class: the distillers coach each guest through producing a bottle of gin, which goes home with its maker.
Rum tasting: a guided tasting can be added to a private tour for anyone keen on aged spirits.
Cask program: anyone who wants to go further can fill a barrel and age their own rum.
Events: birthdays and corporate functions can take over the tiki rum bar and distillery floor.

A morning tour leaves the rest of the day for the beach, while an afternoon class can roll straight into dinner.
