Choosing a Tasting Experience

Two working distilleries in Dromana let a group taste where the spirit is made, then make a bottle of its own. One specialises in rum, the other in gin and brandy distilled from wine.

They're a good fit for a birthday, a hens weekend or a team outing that wants more than a glass and a chat.

The experiences on offer:

Tasting bench – JimmyRum Distillery guides you through its core rums plus a few that will never go on sale.
Distil with the founder – a three-hour session at JimmyRum with James McPherson, ending in a 50ml rum blend of your own.
Spice it Your Way – two hours choosing from more than 20 spices to build a spiced rum at JimmyRum.
Gin Masterclass – Bass & Flinders Distillery spends two hours on botanicals, then each guest writes a recipe and takes home 500ml of it.
Spiced brandy – a two-hour masterclass at Bass & Flinders for drinkers who lean towards darker spirits.

JimmyRum lists experiences from $80 per person and Bass & Flinders from $105 per person. An enquiry with your numbers gets a quote for the session you choose.

Pick JimmyRum for: tastings at a bench facing a 1,500-litre copper still called Matilda.
Pick Bass & Flinders for: native and traditional botanicals, smelt and tasted one by one over a cheese platter.
Age check: Bass & Flinders runs every experience for adults only.
Group size: parties of eight or more can ask JimmyRum to run its distilling experience on their own date.
