Rob says he and Toni can t quite claim to be THE most southerly distillery. An Australian couple went to Chile and bought a bar with a distillery - it would be 150km south of the Auckland Islands so we can t quite match that.

Grains from the paddocks on the Auld s 200-hectare near Otautau farm are transformed into whisky at their on-farm distillery.
Not only do the couple use traditional barley they also make whisky from their own oats, wheat and other grains. So we re breaking the mould a little bit by bringing in the other grains; things that I guess tradition wouldn t allow in other parts of the world. .We are a little disruptive in our distilling processes.
