Section 44 distillery is a captivating tale of how three mates, Andy, Raj, and Steve, turned a twist of fate into a spirited venture called Section 44 Distillery. It all kicked off with an odd twist from down under—the Aussie Constitution to be exact, with its rule 44 chucking politicians if their dads hailed from overseas lands. Steve, who was living the Senator life in Tassie, ended up getting booted from his Senate seat because of it. So, what do you do when life throws you a political curveball? You start a distillery, of course! That’s exactly what the trio did, turning their setback into a plan to shake up the spirits game. They channelled their energy into cooking up top-shelf booze that would put Tassie on the map. Andy, Raj, and Steve put their heads together and laid down the roots for what’s now the go-to spot for a classy drop—Section 44 Distillery. Their shared passion for quality and crafting something special is what makes their distillery more than just a place that makes killer drinks—it’s a story of mates making their mark. Cheers to that!
