Catie Fry, founder and head distiller at Clovendoe Distilling Co., stands as a pioneering figure in Australia’s spirits industry. Not only is she at the helm of the country’s first female-owned and operated distilling company, but she also brings a wealth of experience and innovation from her previous venture, Capricorn Distilling Co., co-founded in 2016. Known for its award-winning rum and gin, it was here that Catie honed her craft and developed a profound passion for premium, botanic-based spirits.

Driven by a desire to craft an inclusive range of spirits, Catie and the Clovendoe team are now at the forefront of the low and no-alcohol movement. This commitment ensures that more people can enjoy the nuanced delights of expertly crafted spirits, regardless of alcohol content. Central to Clovendoe’s philosophy is the belief that outstanding spirits begin with the finest ingredients. To this end, Clovendoe meticulously sources 21 unique botanicals, all ethically obtained or locally sourced, upholding both quality and environmental integrity.
