Description
The Gospel is more than just a whiskey brand.
It’s a testament to the passion and dedication of a small team of fanatics in Melbourne who have a fierce love for deliciously unpretentious rye whiskey.
Led by their Master Distiller, Ian Thorn, The Gospel is Australia’s only dedicated rye whiskey distillery.
Ian is the boss of all things booze, and his expertise is evident in every bottle of The Gospel.
Crafted and distilled from 100% Australian unmalted rye, The Gospel is a unique whiskey with a distinct flavour profile.
The rye is cultivated and nurtured by a single farmer in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia, chosen specifically for its harsh climate and small, dense grains.
This rye imparts deep, spicy flavours of vanilla, cinnamon and dried fruit, with developing notes of pepper, grass and grain.
But The Gospel is more than just a great whiskey.
The team behind it is passionate about standing up for what they believe in and supporting the community.
They recognize their responsibility to operate in a responsible manner and to be conscious of their social impact and environmental footprint.
That’s why The Gospel uses 100% recyclable packaging, diverts their spent waste from landfill and donates 2.5% of net profit to their partner charities.
Set in the backstreets of Melbourne’s eclectic inner north, The Gospel distillery was designed and built by Ben and Andrew with the help of family and friends.
It features a six-meter-high continuous column still, designed and built in-house, as well as a bespoke Copper Pot still.
The Gospel wider team are an experienced group of booze industry experts, all of whom have a fierce love for deliciously unpretentious rye whiskey.
The Gospel Solera Rye is a whiskey like no other.
