This XO release is more than just a brandy; it’s a celebration of our journey—one that began in 2009 with a commitment to creating spirits that embody the true essence of ‘eau de vie’ - the Water of Life.

It’s a tribute to the passion, dedication, and love that have been poured into every bottle over the last decade and a half.

A story told through two generations of distillers, and a tale that began with our founding father Wayne Klintworth, and is now carried forward by his daughter, Holly.

Holly, our second-generation distiller, has lovingly crafted this brandy with the utmost care. Each bottle is a blend of brandies that were meticulously distilled and matured in ex-cognac barrels by her late father. The youngest brandy in this exceptional blend has been ageing for 10 years, waiting for the perfect moment to be shared with you.

This is a brandy for the ages—rich, complex, and deeply rooted in our history. It’s a beautiful dance between old-world French techniques and the vibrant spirit of Australian winemaking, resulting in a brandy that is both sophisticated and distinctly Australian.

Deep amber in colour with orange and gold flecks. Luxurious and complex aromas of lifted fruitcake, nutmeg and vanilla, with floral notes and a glimmer of honey. Succulent flavours of honeysuckle infused with spices of clove and hints of black pepper, overlayed by orange rind, fruitcake and wild meadow flowers.

Born from a legacy of fine craftsmanship, this XO blend includes spirit from the very first barrel ever laid down at Bass & Flinders Distillery, capturing the unique character of our origins.

With every sip, you’ll taste the legacy of the Klintworth family, a legacy that we are so proud to share with you. Here’s to the next 15 years of crafting spirits that warm the soul and celebrate the beauty of life.

This brandy was handcrafted from scratch using our Méthode Eau de Vie – the art of distilling wine into spirit - delivering a smoother, fuller, richer flavour for your drinking pleasure. 

Bass & Flinders Distillery – Spirit of the Mornington Peninsula.

WHY CHOOSE US?

WE TAKE AN ARTISAN APPROACH TO DISTILLING

Bass & Flinders was one of the earlier established Australian distilleries, and the first distillery on the Mornington Peninsula. The inspiration for founding a distillery surrounded by vineyards was simple – stay true to our region through use of local produce wherever possible, and the distillation of grapes to produce fine spirits. 

OUR PROCESS
WE'RE PROUD

Drawing inspiration from our home and our heritage, we are passionate about making uniquely Australian small-batch, craft spirits. We handcraft our grape-based eau de vie spirit right here at the distillery from both Shiraz grapes and Chardonnay grapes, which gives our product range a truly unique flavour profile.

Such a dedicated approach to distilling is rarely seen in the industry and offers you a first-hand experience from vine to bottle. 

OUR STORY
FAMILY OWNED & RUN

Bass & Flinders is a family owned and run distillery, dedicated to the true craft of distilling. We are on a constant journey of discovery, developing new styles of gins, brandies and liqueurs. We are always scouting for unique, native botanicals that capture the essence of our local flora and define our true sense of place. As pioneers of the Gin Masterclass in Australia, we are passionate about sharing our knowledge with craft spirits enthusiasts, from the art of distillation through to the ingredients and native botanicals found in our own backyard. It’s our aim to help craft spirits fans understand just what makes Australian spirits so unique and most important of all, to enjoy them!

 We are the ‘Spirit of the Mornington Peninsula’.

We stay true to our region through use of local produce
