Australians were once strictly importers of mass-produced spirits, making the emergence of a whole new industry so exciting – the boutique distillery. Many new distilleries are opening up on the Mornington Peninsula offering not only the drinks, but an experience. And with the COVID-19 pandemic many distillers have innovated to supply sanitiser in this current environment.
Managing cashflow for working capital, investment in state-of-the-art equipment, stock control and marketing your business can make or break the success of the distillery.
