The Aisling Distillery
Highlights
Overview
The Aisling Distillery was born with the love of Scottish Heritage as the owner was born in the mid-seventies in Griffith, New South Wales. Being raised in Griffith surrounded by an Italian community rich in culture and heritage. They knew that they were of Scottish ancestry. The problem with being of Scottish heritage being raised in Griffith was that they had no identity in regard to their past. The Italians had their nice bread, salami, wine, olives, anti-pasta and a European language.
They felt that they had nothing, but they needed to be in touch with something. They didn't know where they came from, just an Aussie boy growing up in a town full of people with rich cultures and stories dating back generations. So being of Scottish heritage they thought that it was their birthright that they produce something from their past.
As they embarked on their journey into their heritage, they realised the first descendants arrived in Benalla, Victoria and settled in Tungamah, Victoria. The land where they lived and worked from 1875-1920 was "BURNSIDE" Hill Plain Road. This farm is still today being worked by a local Griffith Lady who married a Tungamah Lad and now lives on "BURNSIDE." Over the past few years, they've harvested "Planet" & "Hindmarsh" Barley.
