Joadja Creek is the historical site of the Australian Kerosene Oil and Mineral Company Ltd. Once home to an expansive shale mine and township during the late 19th century. The mining technology that remains in the valley is of national heritage significance, being the only model of its type left in the world.

Joadja Distillery 

The Scottish heritage in the valley and the history of “sly grog” has inspired the Jimenez family who currently own and manage Joadja Town, to establish Joadja Distillery in 2014. The Jimenez family has also tapped into their own Spanish heritage and have sourced ex-Oloroso and ex-Pedro Ximenez butts from Spain to mature their Whisky. These barrels are historically known to be the types of barrels that the Scots consider the best to mature whisky and we are lucky enough to have the Spanish language and connection to be able to source and ship them to Australia and fill them with our own Australia made natural grain spirit.

Visit the cellar door where you will experience how we harness nature’s ingredients to produce truly unique Australian spirits and have a FREE tasting of our range. Free distillery tours and tastings are available Thursday to Monday 10am-4pm, no booking required (under 10 people)
