The Kawal Rock gin distillery is in the heart of the Hunter Valley where we produce unique quality gin, vodka and brandy from our 60 year old vines. Each bottle of gin is meticulously hand-filled in small batches on-site at the Kawal Rock distillery, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The Hunter Brandy

Our brandy is the only brandy produced in the Hunter Valley and we used the grapes that couldn't be picked during the 2019 bushfires. A stunning spirit made from locally sourced grapes and matured in French oak barrels for a minimum of 2 years.
