Award Winning Fully-Equipped Distillery Site

Home of Australia’s Highest Scored Whiskey
A Rare Global-Scale Opportunity
Step into the soul of Melbourne’s craft spirits scene with this extraordinary chance to acquire the complete suite of assets from Gospel Whiskey—a name long associated with authenticity, innovation, and premium whiskey craftsmanship. This is not simply a sale of equipment; it is the opportunity to inherit the infrastructure of a world-class distillery and make it your own. Whether you are a seasoned distiller, a bold entrepreneur, or a visionary brand builder, this turnkey facility offers the perfect foundation to bring your spirit to life and scale it globally.

About the Sale
Note: The business itself is not for sale. What is offered is a fully fitted, turnkey distillery complete with plant, equipment, and approvals in an established location. Once acquired, the operation will be unbranded, allowing you to launch under your own identity.

Located in Coburg North’s vibrant distillery and beer district, this large-scale facility has operated successfully since 2023, building a strong local following and earning national recognition. With the current owners relocating, the assets are now available—presenting a rare chance to take over a fully operational, compliant distillery with immense potential for growth.
