The Agnes Water Distillery Story

The Beginning

Agnes Water Distillery was born from a deep love for our region’s land, sea, and community. Nestled in the heart of the Gladstone region, our distillery is surrounded by the natural bounty of Agnes Water—a coastal gem known for being home to one of Australia’s most northern surf beaches. Here, we’re blessed with pristine shorelines, vibrant wildlife, and a tight-knit, diverse community that thrives off the land.

From the rich harvest of zucchinis and passionfruit in the cooler months to the sun-soaked abundance of lychees and watermelons in summer, our spirits are a true reflection of our surroundings. Every bottle of vodka, gin, and liqueur we craft is infused with the essence of our local produce and shaped by the laid-back yet proud culture of Agnes Water. This distillery is more than just a place where spirits are made—it’s where the region's flavors, stories, and spirit come together in every pour.

The Making

Crafting our liqueurs is a time-honored artisanal tradition, passed down through generations of passionate distillers. Each batch is produced using handmade copper pot stills, which we believe help create a smoother, more refined liqueur. We also use only the freshest fruits, herbs, and spices—ensuring every bottle is rich in character, flavor, and quality.

“Crafted to reflect the richness of our agricultural heritage."

Our Liqueurs

At Agnes Water Distillery, we craft distinctive fruit liqueurs using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Each of our liqueurs represents our dreams. Without visions and aspirations, we would never reach for life’s finer experiences.

Imagine gathering around a warm fire on a chilly evening, surrounded by friends. This very image inspired the creation of Daybreak—a drink meant to warm not only your body but your heart, evoking cherished memories as the night unfolds.

After a hard day’s work, if you crave a moment to relax, try Sunset. With its refreshing blend of grapefruit, bush lime, and ginger, it’s the perfect choice to rejuvenate your spirit for the evening ahead.

Beautiful location, top-notch whiskey, and a cozy tasting room. I appreciated the attention to detail in the distillation process they explained during the tour. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is I wish they had more seating during busy hours.”

"The passionfruit liqueur is absolutely divine. Sweet but not cloying, and you can taste the real fruit. We picked up two bottles and they disappeared by the weekend. Perfect for cocktails or even poured over ice cream!”

“Their spiced rum was the surprise hit of our tasting. Notes of caramel, clove, and toasted coconut with a buttery mouthfeel. It’s like a tropical vacation in a glass—only better because it’s made right here.”
