At Route 9, a boutique distillery nestled in the Adelaide Hills, founders Rob Watt and Sam Brown are on a passionate pursuit of perfecting spirits. After returning from their careers in Hong Kong, their love for gin led to the creation of small-batch gins featuring pure botanicals, offering a symphony of flavors.
Expanding their expertise, they now venture into whisky and rum, with barrels maturing to reveal the Adelaide Hills Whisky Co and a delectable yet-to-be-branded rum. Their whisky boasts the trinity of barley, yeast, and water, promising a highly anticipated debut in late 2023.
For rum enthusiasts, their forthcoming barrel releases, inspired by Bourbon, Port, Sherry, and Cognac, will satisfy the most discerning palates. With more spirits on the horizon, Route 9 is an enticing destination for connoisseurs seeking exceptional flavors and the joy of a passionate journey.
