Imbue Distillery

Imbue Distillery sits in the scenic hills of Research, just out of Melbourne, where founders Mel and Mick Sheard, with good friends Luke and Nikki on board since 2019, make a wide spread of spirits from gin and vodka to brandy, liqueurs and an Angel’s Share whisky. There is a Distillery Door for tours and tastings, and a real green streak running through it: solar power, refilled bottles, spent grain that goes to local goats and a Full Circle Condiments range made from production offcuts.

Their Suburban Barrel Aged Gin is the backbone of Peachy Keen, a fruity, funky take on a gin sour that comes out fresh and bright with loads of peach.

Spirits with a story and a conscience. That is the sort of detail we appreciate, and good company for a maker like us.
