ROUTE 9
Our Space
Welcome to Route 9, where passion and craftsmanship intersect to create an exceptional atmosphere. Nestled in the heart of Balhannah, our distillery is a hidden gem that embodies the essence of our unique spirits.
Our small-batch gins are made right here at Route 9 using only the purest botanicals to release savoury, floral, fruity and herbal notes that sing for themselves. Our whisky branded as the Adelaide Hills Whisky Co is crafted from ingredients of barley, yeast, and water – whisky’s trinity of the highest order – are maturing in barrels ahead of their planned debut in late 2023. Our rum project which is yet to be branded is dark and delicious and made from the finest molasses. If Bourbon, Port, Sherry and Cognac are speaking your language then there will be a barrel release just for you.

Testimonials
An emerging gem in the Adelaide Hills, their Gin will for sure become a reference of all the good things you can find in the hills and South Australia. Smooth, fruity, strong, the choice of yours.
Absolutely great location, top notch spirits and fantastic staff! Do yourself a favour make the trip.
Exceptional gin presented in vibrant ways that best realise the subtle nuisances of the spirits. Whisky pate and red pickled onions are a must – a really affordable afternoon indulgence. Clean, modern and excellent customer service.
