Rusty Mill Distillery is located on the Darling Downs in Queensland, and are scaling up infrastructure to enable production on a commercial scale. Our production begins with our Young Oak Whiskee and Single Malt Whiskee sold through a virtual cellar door. We will also be producing our own range of Whiskee Liqueurs.
We do not have a physical cellar door; we are a small boutique distillery making small batches of quality product. We do use other people’s venues for Whiskee tastings. We will provide information via our blog page to advise of where and when, but they are subject to reservations to ensure adequate supplies and to stay within the venue limits.
What’s the Difference Between Whiskey, Whisky and Whiskee?
You see the name of the liquor spelled both as “whiskey” and “whisky?” No, it’s not due to a spelling error or typo. It is generally spelled “whiskey”—with an e—in the United States and Ireland. It is spelled “whisky”—without the e—in Scotland and Canada, which are both well known for their whisky, and in several other countries.
Since we are Aussies, we like to announce ourselves with a ‘Cooee’; especially with friends, and say ‘come have a Whiskee with me’.
‘Cooee, Whiskee’. The smooth taste of the Australian country: flies and bulldust optional extras.
Our Values
We embrace the FISH Philosophy and endeavour to engage with customers, suppliers, our own team and anyone else in this manner. One can never tell who is having a bad day or is at the end of their rope as it were. So, we as a company try to:
Play
Tap into your natural way of being creative, enthusiastic and having fun.
Make Their Day
Serve others meaningfully and memorably, not for gain, but because that's the person you want to be.
Be There
Be emotionally present for people. This respect improves communication and strengthens relationships.
Choose Your Attitude
The way you choose to respond impacts others. Ensure your attitude supports your team and customers.
What this says about us is, that we take our customers seriously, but playfully, as evidenced in our marketing and our patter when we speak about our products. We follow best practice while delivering a unique product. We will playfully tell you the taste comes from "straining our Whiskee through my old socks" as opposed to describing how we do what we do and manage to deliver a smooth-tasting spirit.
