Acquire Kilderkin Distillery, an award-winning craft spirits business with a fully equipped production facility, distillery door bar, established brands and valuable intellectual property. Offered as a turnkey business and asset sale, this opportunity combines premium spirits production, wholesale distribution and direct-to-consumer hospitality, with reported turnover of $1 million–$5 million and net profit of $250,000–$500,000.
Founded in 2016, Kilderkin produces small-batch gin, vodka, liqueurs and whisky, including award-winning Larrikin gin and vodka and Kilderkin whisky. The sale includes copper stills, production and bottling equipment, established recipes, trademarked branding, operating procedures and goodwill. Its distillery door provides additional revenue opportunities through tastings, cocktails, bottle sales, gift packs, events, classes and private functions.
Advertised in Perth, Western Australia, the business operates from Mount Pleasant in Ballarat, Victoria, where it has traded from its current premises since 2020. The warehouse-style distillery door and tasting bar attracts local customers and visitors exploring Ballarat's food, drink and tourism offerings. The site benefits from access to Ballarat's CBD and major routes, with an approved outdoor seating area complementing its indoor hospitality facilities.
Significant expansion opportunities include increasing production, extending trading hours, growing wholesale distribution, developing online sales and subscriptions, and introducing additional spirits and limited releases. The existing venue also offers scope to expand private functions, ticketed tastings, masterclasses and other experiences, while Ballarat's tourism market provides opportunities to attract additional visitors.
The business is currently owner-operated and offered as a complete business and asset acquisition, including its production equipment, distillery door fit-out, brands, recipes and intellectual property, with stock at valuation. The lease provides four remaining three-year options, with advertised annual rent of $19,613.
This opportunity may appeal to existing distillers, brewers, hospitality operators or entrepreneurial purchasers seeking a recognised craft spirits brand with production capabilities, a customer-facing venue and multiple potential revenue channels.
