Whisky & chocolate - a classic combination!

Join Backwoods' co-founder and distiller, Leigh, this September as he comes to Canberra fresh from being crowned Victoria's champion distiller at the Australian Distilled Spirits Awards to chat with us as we go through an exceptional lineups of his whisky - from some early releases, to their current offerings, and a few special bottles of their famed Red Gum whiskies as well!

Backwoods Distilling Co. was founded by Leigh and Bree Attwood in 2017. Both were raised in North East Victoria, and returned to the region with their young family after years of city-living, working and travelling. A love of whisky, science and craftiness soon evolved into a dream to open a distillery. Backwoods Distilling Co. is the culmination of this dream. They are passionate about creating high quality spirits that vividly capture the flavours of Victoria’s High Country, and aim to put Victoria on the map as a premier craft spirits destination.

The true star of the distillery is their copper-pot still. ‘Stillvester’ is a one of a kind creation, built by Burns Welding and Fabrication in Griffith, NSW. Together, they purposefully designed the 1250L Stillvester to create a spirit that is both complex and refined.

Every time we do a whisky & chocolate pairing with him, attendees rave about the evening - so joining us once again is Peter Channels from Jasper+Myrtle with a small selection of their spectacular chocolates - with one carefully paired chocolate to accompany each whisky in the lineup.

Jasper+Myrtle hand craft their chocolate in their shop on Dairy Road in Fyshwick, and are fast becoming a Canberra institution! They ethically source their cocoa beans, creating lasting long-term relationships with the farmers that grow them - with Peter and his partner Li Peng regularly visiting the farms to get to know not just the product, but the people too.

Jasper+Myrtle chocolates contain no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives - with all the various flavours coming from natural ingredients.

The Whisky Lineup:

A cheese & charcuterie platter is provided at in-person events. Please advise us via email if you have any allergies or dietary requirements that we need to be aware of.

This event is only for persons aged 18 years or older.
