Backwoods Distilling Co. is an independent, craft distillery located in the Victorian High Country region. Established by Bree and Leigh Attwood in 2017, the distillery produces handcrafted batches of single malt and rye whisky, alongside a range of gins that highlight native botanicals.

With their first whiskies released in 2020, Backwoods have already picked up several prestigious awards, collecting medals at the World Whiskies, London Spirits, and Australian Distilled Spirits Awards. In November 2022, Backwoods took out the top trophy for Champion Single Malt Whisky at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards.

With an ethos of using 100% Australian grains, local casks and native botanicals, Backwoods is proving to be one of Australia’s best small producers of local, artisan spirits.
