78 Degrees Distillery

Winemaker Sacha La Forgia founded this Adelaide Hills distillery in 2014 on a single technical insight: ethanol boils at 78 degrees, lower than water, and distilling at that threshold captures brighter botanical notes. Now at Lot 100 in Hay Valley — shared with Mismatch Brewing and The Hills Cider Company — the range runs from the original Classic Gin to vermouths, aperitifs, vodka, and Australian whiskey.
