Tria Prima Distillery

Small family-owned boutique nano-distillery at 31 Oborn Road, Mount Barker, approximately 4km from Mount Barker Summit. Founded in 2017 by Paul and Trang Shand. Paul, formerly a geochemist, discovered whisky while exploring for gold in the Scottish Highlands. The name Tria Prima represents the three elements of alchemy: barley, water and wood. Uses an Australian-made 2,200L copper pot still with own mashing and fermentation using Australian barley. Employs a range of cask sizes (100-300L) and types including tawny, apera, bourbon, rum, red wine and champagne-style wine barrels for diverse taste profiles.
