Bass & Flinders Distillery

Founded in 2009, Bass & Flinders was the first distillery on the Mornington Peninsula. Now run by second-generation distiller Holly, the operation double-distils Victorian wine in a gas-fired alembic pot still — a Charente-derived technique that forms the base of their grape-to-glass gins, brandies and liqueurs. The Ochre brandy, aged in the French tradition, remains the flagship.
