The Chief’s Son Distillery is owned and operated by Naomi and Stuart McIntosh. A family owned and operated small batch distillery, they hand craft Single Malt Whisky by utilising the very best of artisan ingredients, small batch processes, hand selected barrels and a totally manual system. Naomi said ‘as Malt Whisky Custodians, our distillery is the epicentre of our lives; it reflects absolute dedication to the craft, uncompromising attention to detail and the endless pursuit of perfection’.

They refer to 900 a bit, so perhaps we should explain. It’s pretty simple really, Chief’s Son Distillery was established 900 years after the formal establishment of the McIntosh family. During these 900 years each generation has passed knowledge, experience, love and passion to successive generations. So their reference to 900 pays homage to their proud ancestors and hails future McIntosh generations.

Since the early 1500s, small batch malt whisky has been crafted exactly the same way. The ancient art and science of craft distilling hasn’t changed, nor has the passion, enjoyment and satisfaction of each glass. The Chief’s Son Distillery honour, but elevate the true hand crafted, original style of whisky developed by their forefathers over 500 years ago.

The Chief’s Son Distillery can be found in Somerville on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula

Sit down for this one, this is a big whisky, but different to many ‘slap-in-the-head’ peated whiskies. If this doesn’t transport you to far distant lands, swashbuckling days and high sea adventures… nothing will. All matured in ex fortified French oak Barrels.
