Ambrosia Distillery

Ambrosia Distillery is a Fyshwick, Canberra producer focused on flavour-forward spirits, including uniquely flavoured vodka. Its website presents the range as Australian-crafted, small-batch and handmade, with locally sourced ingredients and an award-winning profile. Products are available through the online shop, with free shipping on orders over $99.

The distillery also provides cocktail recipes for customers who want to use its spirits at home, positioning the brand as much around mixing drinks as it is around the bottles themselves. There is an evident sense of personality in the presentation, with references to the gods and playful cocktail-making language rather than a formal or traditional approach.

Ambrosia is a one-person operation, and the owner may be out delivering products or setting up at events. Visitors are asked to contact the distillery before dropping in, with the owner aiming to be there to welcome them with a drink when possible. That makes it best suited to shoppers seeking Australian-made spirits, cocktail fans and people interested in meeting a small producer, rather than those expecting a conventional bar with guaranteed walk-in service. It is located at Dairy Road in Fyshwick.
