About Us
Newy Distillery is a family-owned craft distillery in Edgeworth, on the outskirts of Newcastle, NSW. We make small-batch gin, vodka, limoncello, liqueurs and shimmer spirits, with over 100 vodkas and gins in the range. We've sold more than 500,000 bottles since 2018.
Where we started
It began in a household shed. We founded the distillery in 2018, and today we run three warehouses, a tasting bar open to the public and Newy's Hidden Gem, a cocktail bar inside the working distillery.
What we make
- Gin: led by our Signature Gin, made with 16 botanicals, plus infused, barrel-aged and award-winning gins.
- Vodka: wheat-based and triple distilled, in flavoured, infused and 1-litre bottles.
- Shimmer spirits: gin and vodka with edible glitter, in 11 colours each. What is shimmer?
- Limoncello and liqueurs.
- Ready to drink: pre-mix and pre-batch cocktails.
How we make it
Our spirit starts as a wash of wheat, purified water and yeast, left to ferment for around five weeks. We distil it through a column of copper plates and chambers, three times. For gin, the third run passes through a basket of botanicals. The spirit comes off the still at 94% alcohol, and we bring it down to strength with purified water before bottling and labelling. The full process is in how gin is made.
