Magpie Distilling, established in 2020, is the realization of a long-held desire for creativity, authenticity, and a whole lot of fun. Owned and operated solely by Nikki and Geoff Drummond, former Sydney residents, the distillery marks their transition from the corporate world to a more inspiring, local, and fulfilling venture in Murrurundi.
Driven by a clear goal, Magpie Distilling is dedicated to crafting high-quality spirits that pay tribute to the generosity of the people and the land of the Upper Hunter region. The name “Magpie Distilling” is an homage to the families of “Swoopy Boiz,” the magpies that have graced their farm for generations, observing and inspiring their every endeavor. Just like these clever, social, proud, and fun creatures, Magpie Distilling aims to embody those qualities through their spirits and brand, creating a truly unique and memorable experience for all who enjoy their products.
