Choosing a Tasting Experience

Cambridge has two distilleries that welcome groups, both working sites near the airport. Sullivans Cove Distillery has bottled single cask whisky since 1994; Spring Bay Distillery Cambridge produces its own single malt, gin, vodka and brandy, grain onwards.

At each, the tasting happens beside the stills.

Side by side, the Cambridge tastings look like this:

  • Sullivans Cove Distillery runs daily from 10am to 4.30pm: sit at the bar while staff guide the tasting, or follow a guide around the production floor.
  • Spring Bay's quick option is three gins or three whiskies poured as a flight, From $15 per person.
  • Spring Bay's tour runs roughly 60 minutes with the makers, covering barley, water and casks, before three pours, a Solera sample and a Glencairn glass to take home.
  • In Spring Bay's Solera Experience, a distiller explains the evolving Solera program, then each guest draws from the cask and bottles and seals their own.
  • At Sullivans Cove, every release is one cask, and a few are poured nowhere but the distillery itself.
