Carmel Distillery is an award winning, small batch distillery based in the Perth Hills, Western Australia
Founded by husband-and-wife team Simon, Chief Alchemist, and Marie, Empress of Order, we craft premium vodkas, gins, whisky, and liqueurs from the ground up. From grapes grown in local vineyards to botanicals gathered from nearby orchards, every bottle captures the flavour of our region. It’s the taste of the Perth Hills in a glass, whether you’re sharing it with friends, marking a milestone, or simply making an ordinary day feel special.
“Handcrafting magical solutions, one bottle at a time” is more than our motto – it’s our approach. Each spirit starts with something we love and a story worth telling, from Hills Dry Gin inspired by my Mum’s evening G&T, to Classic Vodka crowned Champion Vodka at the Perth Royal Distilled Spirits Awards, to Tokatoka Single Malt Whisky honouring three generations of the King family. Whether you find us at a local market or in our online store, you’re part of a community that values flavour, craftsmanship, and the unique spirit of the Perth Hills.
