New (Micro)Distillery just opened in Western Australia

Post by Flash Clampet »

The first distillery in my town ever opened not too long ago. they are doing a range of vodkas while they are waiting for the whiskey to mature.

They are also adding a Gin to their range very soon.

Who are the Angove's?
It is most absurdly said, in popular language, of any man, that he is disguised in liquor; for, on the contrary, most men are disguised by sobriety. ~Thomas de Quincy, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, 1856

We keep all the real purdy ones locked away, so you foreigners can't steal em.

Ever heard the (historically real) complaint by Aussie men about the US servicemen who used to do R&R in Oz during the second world war?

'Them bloody Yanks are over paid, over sexed, and over here!'

["Yanks". Yeah, yeah, I know, apologies to all you diehard Southern separatist rebels. But you're all Yanks to us. :wink: ]

They were/are a very big name in the wine and brandy industry here in South Oz.
An uncommon name in an uncommon industry makes me think that there is definitely a family connection there.

I think that the Angoves were a wine producing mob from Croweater land, coops. They dabbled in brandy too from memory although the memory from the crevices of my grog sodden brain is a little fallible.
