Drinks Adventures - Wine, beer, whisky, gin & more with James Atkinson
Episode • Jun 6, 2022 • 25m
A podcast for lovers of wine, beer, liquor (incl. whisky, whiskey, bourbon, vodka tequila etc) and cocktails, Drinks Adventures hosts wine makers, brewing and distilling experts, sommeliers, bartenders & more.
Founded by three friends with background in drinks and hospitality, Bondi Liquor Co is the first operating distillery in Sydney's eastern suburbs.
Co-founder and distiller Ben Stevens has experience in both sales and production, having previously worked at Young Henrys, Clare Valley Brewing and Carlton & United Breweries.
He joins us this episode for a chat about the challenges of being the first in a new area, where the authorities are unaccustomed to alcohol production.
We'll explore the Bondi Liquor gin range, and the pros and cons of tying your brand name to a globally recognised place, like Bondi Beach.
First up though, I asked Ben about the Bondi Liquor Co origin story.
