FAR Distilling is what happens when five generations of Hunter winegrowing meet contemporary cold distillation. The vineyard and the distillery share an address: Field of Mars Block 1 Shiraz ripens beside the stills at 989 Hermitage Road, next door to Keith Tulloch Wine, while Latara’s dark cracking clay grows the Semillon for our Semillon Slammer. Inside, a traditional copper pot still works alongside a vacuum cold still: heat for the botanicals that want it, cold for the ones it would ruin. Behind both sits a library of more than 100 catalogued distillates. Wine country roots, distilled.
FAR is Jess and Ben Whittemore-Tulloch: two people, two stills and five generations of Hunter winegrowing behind them, at 989 Hermitage Road, Pokolbin. Every bottle is made here in small batches. Taste four of our spirits for $10 upstairs at the Keith Tulloch Wine cellar door, or order online and we will ship anywhere in Australia.
