With a commitment to tradition and quality, Chief's Son Distillery brings to life single malt whiskies that encapsulate the essence of family heritage. Embodying the McIntosh's dedication to passing the love of whisky through generations, it stands as a monument to the spirit’s unifying power on the Mornington Peninsula.

Crafted Perfection: Handcrafted Single Malt Whisky with Artisan Ingredients and Timeless Techniques.

Chief's Son Distillery, a family enterprise, distills exceptional single malt whisky by marrying artisan ingredients with a hands-on approach. The process begins with the finest Australian barley, meticulously malted to bring out the optimal balance for brewing. This craftsmanship extends into brewing, where starches are turned into fermentable sugars and then fermented into a rich whisky wash.

Distillation is where the magic crystallizes, with the distiller conducting two critical runs to purify and capture the essence of the spirit. This essence is then matured in oak barrels, developing unique flavors. At the intersection of science and art, Chief's Son Distillery embraces variations in each batch and barrel, ensuring each whisky is a testament to their dedication to quality and the distinctiveness of their craft.
