The Amber Lane story was forged in the stars. Friends and fellow amateur astronomers Rod Berry and Phil Townsend were enjoying dark rural night skies at Coonabarabran NSW during 2017 when serendipity intervened. During a daytime excursion in the region, they stumbled upon a small whisky distillery, and a dream coalesced. A sense of destiny has marked every step which has followed.
Rod freely admits that he is a “total whisky nerd”, having immersed himself in whisky knowledge and experience for many years. As a long-time member of the Scotch Malt Whisky Society, an avid reader of whisky blogs and books, having undertaken several courses through the Australian Whisky Academy, and having toured numerous whisky distilleries in Australia and Scotland, Rod has a deep appreciation for the art and science of whisky production.
Phil is passionate about excellence in whisky production and oversees the daily operations at the distillery. Innovation drives Phil every day, as he seeks improvements at every level of production. Nothing brings Phil greater joy that the wonderful aromas which fill the warehouse, as he can’t help but smile as he conducts the daily inspection of barrels. He feels a calling to his work, and his enthusiasm for Amber Lane spirit is infectious.
Amber Lane strives to produce refined, beautiful and delicious whisky in a traditional style which brings satisfaction and joy to all those who partake. They focus on bringing together the natural sweetness of the barley in the new make with high quality aged casks from Spain and Kentucky that bring depth and richness to every dram.
The Blending Masterclass
Rod will be bringing the spirit components that Amber Lane use to make their whiskies, and will teach us hands-on how these components combined with a whisky glass and droppers bring about their superb whiskies.
