Eddie Brook and the team at Cape Byron Distillery are extremely proud to announce the launch of Brookie's Hand & Surface Sanitiser.

We're very proud to announce that Cape Byron Distillery was awarded 'Sustainable Distillery of the Year' at the international Icons of Gin Awards 2020, which took place in London.

Mac. by Brookie’s, a premium roasted macadamia and wattleseed liqueur celebrated the launch with a cocktail soirée in the chic new locals' bar, the Green Room at the Beach Hotel.

We are thrilled to announce the exciting next chapter of Cape Byron Distillery ~ the Wonderful World of Whisky! Our Co-Founder & Master Distiller Jim McEwan was recently at the distillery in Byron Bay to launch our journey into distilling whisky along with Eddie Brook, Co-Founder & Distiller and turned a dream into a reality with the birth of a new spirit.

Masterfully created by steeping roasted macadamia nuts, macadamia nutshell, and wattleseed in a wheat-based neutral spirit, before adding pure spring water from Wollumbin (Mt Warning) and a touch natural sugar cane syrup. The end result is the ‘Mac Daddy’ of all liqueurs, expect decadent flavours of butterscotch, cacao, and coffee.
