Acquire a large-scale, fully equipped spirits distillery in Coburg North, Melbourne, with production capacity exceeding 3,000 whisky barrels annually, 708sqm of premises plus a mezzanine, and 12 car spaces. Offered as a turnkey asset sale with the asking price available on application, this opportunity includes specialised distilling equipment, production infrastructure and an established facility with existing site approvals.
Previously home to Gospel Whisky, the producer associated with some of Australia's highest-scoring whiskies in 2023 and 2024, the facility has been purpose-built for substantial spirits production. The sale includes a six-metre continuous column still, a bespoke 2,500-litre copper pot still, 6,500-litre mash and fermentation vessels, a bottling line and associated production equipment. The premises can support whisky, rum, brandy and other spirits production, including contract distilling.
Located within Coburg North's established food, beverage and brewing precinct, the distillery provides access to Melbourne's craft spirits industry and a surrounding community of hospitality and beverage producers. The premises occupy a leased site with annual rent of $103,000 plus outgoings, a lease running until 2030 and an option for a further seven years.
The facility offers scope to establish a new spirits brand, expand an existing production operation or develop contract manufacturing services. Its substantial production capacity and purpose-built infrastructure provide a foundation for businesses targeting larger domestic or international markets. There is also potential to introduce a commercial kitchen and dining area, subject to any required approvals.
The site benefits from existing council approvals, a food permit, hazardous area compliance, Fire Rescue Victoria compliance, a liquor licence and trade waste arrangements. Expert guidance is available to assist an incoming operator with the transition.
This is strictly an asset sale. The Gospel Whisky business, goodwill, brand and intellectual property are not included. Up to 100 barrels of mature whisky and 20 barrels of mature rum may be purchased separately.
An attractive opportunity for established distillers, beverage producers and entrepreneurs seeking substantial production infrastructure without undertaking a comparable facility development from scratch.
