5 Reasons to Make Your Own Whisky (and How It Works)

There’s something special about whisky — the way it’s made, the way it ages, and the way it brings people together. But there’s something even better than drinking great whisky: making your own.

At BeStill Whisky, we give you the chance to do exactly that. Here's why it's worth it — and exactly how it works.

1. It’s Yours. Completely.

This isn't a label slap or a marketing gimmick. When you make your own whisky with us, you own the barrel. Your name goes on it. Your recipe, your flavour profile, your story — registered, stored, and secured under your name.

2. You Choose the Flavour Journey

From the grain to the finish, you make the call. Choose your farm, your malt style (light or smoked), and your barrel finish — think shiraz, bourbon, port, or something a little wild. Want it bold? Go smoked. Want it smooth? Choose a sweet wine cask. It’s whisky your way.

3. Access to the Good Stuff

We’re not just giving you a barrel and walking away. You’ll have exclusive access to taste your whisky as it matures, join us for private barrel room sessions, and be part of a group of whisky lovers who actually know what goes into every drop.

4. It’s a Damn Good Gift

For you. For a mate. For a milestone. It’s the kind of thing that says I didn’t panic-buy this at the bottle shop. It's a whisky with thought, story, and legacy behind it. Perfect for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or just treating yourself.

5. You're Making History

Every barrel matures differently. The climate, the wood, the time — it all adds up to a spirit that literally no one else will ever have. This is your one-of-one whisky. And when it’s ready? You get to bottle it, name it, and drink it however you please.

So, How Does It Work?

1. Choose your profile – Select your farm, malting style, and barrel finish

1. We distil and fill your barrel – Right here in Busselton

1. You follow the journey – Come in for tastings, track its progress, watch it evolve

1. You bottle it – When it’s ready (usually 2+ years), it’s all yours to name and pour
