Where is 23rd Street Distillery and what is its history?

23rd Street Distillery sits on the corner of Renmark Avenue and Twenty Third Street in Renmark, South Australia. The site was built in 1914 and was once home to Australia's first co-operatively owned growers' distillery. After falling into disrepair it was bought by the family-owned Bickford's Group in 2014, restored over two years, and reopened as 23rd Street Distillery on 23 September 2016. Its historic twin copper pot stills are still in use today.

What is the artwork on 23rd Street bottles?

Every 23rd Street Distillery bottle features original artwork by an Australian artist, commissioned specifically for that spirit. Contributors include Claire Ishino, Jo Spargo, Garry Duncan, Joshua Searson, Billie Justice Thomson, Rebecca Mills, Lena Baumgartner, Julia Townsend and Eliza Koch. It's part of the distillery's belief that craft spirits deserve craft design — and it makes the bottles genuinely collectable.

23rd Street Distillery

Adventurous spirits from the Riverland's historic distillery

Est.: 1914 (reopened 2016)
Region: Renmark, South Australia

On the corner of Renmark Avenue and Twenty Third Street stands a distillery with more than a century of stories. Built in 1914 and once home to Australia's first co-operative growers' distillery, the site fell quiet after decades of service - until the family-owned Bickford's Group restored it and, in September 2016, 23rd Street Distillery rose again.

Today its historic twin copper pot stills turn Riverland sunshine into award-winning gin, vodka, whisky, rum and brandy. Local mandarins, roses plucked from Ruston's famous gardens, single-orchard yuzu - the distillers work with what the region grows, and it shows. Each bottle wears artwork from an Australian artist, because craft deserves craft.

Signature Gin has claimed Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition; the whole range carries the same adventurous streak. This is the Riverland, bottled.
