THE HUNTER VALLEY'S FIRST WHISKEY DISTILLERY
OUR STORY
Tower Whiskey Distillery commenced distilling in 2021 at Pokolbin, in the heart of Hunter Valley Wine Country.
Our distilling process starts with us brewing a single malt mash which is then double distilled in our traditional copper whiskey still. We then age our young whiskey in a combination of used wine and spirit casks that impart some amazing characters over time.
These unique aged characters are then enhanced with finishing in hand selected new or speciality oak. All our whiskeys are Single Malt and ready to be enjoyed neat or in a specially curated cocktail.

THE HISTORY
The Tower Estate site was established in the late 1990s by the late Len Evans, a legendary wine figure, along with a group of his friends. Their vision was to create a landmark in the heart of the Hunter Valley that combined world-class accommodation, a winery, and a cellar door.
​
Years later, the Hope family were lucky enough to purchase the property and transformed Tower Estate into Tower Whiskey Distillery, the Hunter Valley’s first whiskey distillery with its own tasting room. Michael Hope set out with a new goal: to create the region’s first fully operating distillery and cellar door offering private tastings.
​
The building retains its striking Spanish revival architecture, a reminder of its rich history while now housing something entirely new.
Visitors are invited to book a Whiskey Flight Tasting to experience it for themselves, with distillery tours coming soon.
