Whiskey Tour & Cheese Board - Stewart is absolutely fantastic & his tour is very informative & interesting. Stewart is so passionate & very knowledgeable about his craft. He & his staff on hand made you feel so welcomed & Stewart’s personality was very entertaining. You weren’t just in number of a production line of taste testing. The premises are extremely clean & the atmosphere is great. Great morning, my husband couldn’t fault any of his whiskeys, all of very high standards. Would highly recommend.

Well worth the visit - The Chief's Son Distillery offers a fantastic experience that enriches the senses and explores the art of creating an award wining whisky. The owners offer a fantastic account of their personal journey, the challenges of production all while taking you through the subtle differences as part of the tasting of their signature whisky. Highly recommend this establishment on the Mornington Peninsula, it is well worth the visit.

Informative and uplifting - Excellent informative overview of the history of Chief's son and the vodka brand as well as the processes involved in brewing both whisky (and vodka). Mr Makintosh is a craftsperson whether he likes to be known as one or not! Chief's son were also very generous with our tastings and the gift we got to take home. Thanks for a great Saturday morning

For the best Whisky experience - I highly recommend this distillery for a wonderful introduction to some of the best whisky's available. Stewart (the founder) is not only a really nice and sincere man, but also spends personal time instilling a wealth of knowledge and makes sure the customers questions are answered to the full. I have already told a lot of my friends that they must pay this venue a visit. I will be there again also.

Great Whisky Distillery Tour. - Very detailed and interesting explanation of the whisky distilling process by the very skilled and passionate owner. There were tastings of four whiskies and a cheese platter, followed by further samples in the main processing room. And each attendee gets to fill a small bottle from one of the premium whisky barrels take home.
