Choosing a Tasting Experience

A 3,600-litre copper pot still and racks of ageing barrels are the backdrop for a group tasting at Amber Lane Distillery, 438 Yarramalong Road. The Wyong Creek distillery makes Australian single malt whisky with large barrels, long maturation and techniques borrowed from French wine and cognac making. Private bookings suit whisky clubs, friends, workmates, birthdays and hens and bucks celebrations, and every tasting is strictly for adults. Two private formats to choose between:

  • Introduction to Whisky: a 90-minute tasting of five whiskies, showing how barrel type, age and strength change the flavour.
  • Whisky Blending Masterclass: starts with new make spirit straight off the still and the double pour comparison technique.
  • Take-home bottle: masterclass guests blend cask samples into their own 50ml whisky.
  • Something to eat: a cheese and fruit platter can be added at the distillery.
  • Minimum spend: each format carries a minimum booking amount, so check it against your numbers.

Tastings start From $49.50 per person, and newcomers are well catered for by the introductory session.
