The Old Shed Distillery:Bilpin, Blue Mountains

A thousand metres up on the Bells Line of Road at Bilpin, this family distillery works small batches from mountain rainwater and local botanicals, using a single copper still in a shed. The range runs to gin, vodka, whisky and cellos, plus infusion ciders. The cellar door and bar, open Thursday to Sunday, pours tastings, drinks from the tap and shared boards by the fire.
