Intense Flavours at the Sea Edge

Waub’s Harbour Distillery sits opposite Governor Island in the coastal village of Bicheno, where sea and sky meet at the edge of the tasting room. Here, the maritime air and gentle rhythm of the water shape the experience, placing you just moments from the shoreline. The building itself carries a quiet connection to the past, once serving the town as an oyster hatchery, its next chapter now unfolding through craft and considered distilling.

Leading Whiskies, Cooled by the Ocean

A tour of the distillery unfolds as a sensory experience, set within one of the closest whisky-making environments to the ocean anywhere in the world. Each expression, crafted by Tim, Rob and Bec Polmear, is matured in salt-laced bond rooms, gently influenced by the rhythm and cool of the sea. This interplay of place and process brings a quiet intensity to the whiskies layered, complex, and distinctly shaped by their coastal home.
