Manly Spirits Co. Distillery

Manly Spirits Co. Distillery was founded by husband-and-wife duo David and Vanessa Wilton, who were inspired by the stunning Northern Beaches of Sydney to create a range of premium Australian spirits. Operating out of a bespoke urban distillery in Brookvale, they focus on capturing the ‘coastal’ experience by utilizing unique marine botanicals, including sustainably foraged sea parsley and kelp. The business was born from a desire to showcase the diversity of Australian flora in spirits like gin, vodka, and whisky. The Wiltons built the distillery from the ground up, emphasizing craft production and high-quality ingredients. Beyond manufacturing, the distillery features a vibrant tasting bar and offers distillery tours and gin-making schools, making it a destination for spirit enthusiasts. Their founder story is one of combining local identity with international craft standards, resulting in award-winning spirits that reflect the freshness and beauty of the Australian shorelines they call home.
