THE STORY

 Billy Stitch Distillery kicked off in 2023 with nothing more than a backyard setup (totally above board, we promise) and a big love for great gin. What started as a passion project fuelled by curiosity and late-night experimenting has grown into a distillery that’s all about bold flavours and good times. We’ve stayed true to our roots: keeping things hands-on, and always full of personality.

Our gin isn’t here to blend into the crowd. We’re all about pushing the boundaries with bright flavours and bottles that are as fun to look at as they are to drink from. The Billy Stitch brand is about making spirits that stand out. It’s not just about making something premium, it’s about making something that’s unapologetically full of life.

At Billy Stitch, we think quality spirits deserve a little extra love, and so do you. Treating yourself shouldn’t feel indulgent, it should feel normal. So go ahead, pour a glass, mix up a cocktail, or share a bottle with mates. Billy Stitch is here to bring a little brightness to your day.

THE FOUNDERS

Meet Dave and Steph, the husband-and-wife team behind Billy Stitch Distillery. What started as Dave’s hobby quickly spiralled into a full-blown family venture. With a background as an engineer in the Australian Defence Force, Dave brought his love of problem-solving and precision to the world of distilling. What he didn’t mention when he set up his first still in the backyard was how much help he’d need to bring his vision to life. Enter Steph, a school teacher with zero distilling experience but plenty of enthusiasm (and a talent for keeping Dave’s wild ideas on track).

Dave’s obsession with experimenting began with a simple goal: to make gin that didn’t just taste good but stood out in every way. It didn’t take long for Steph to get roped into the process—starting as the “official taster” but quickly taking on a bigger role. Steph’s creativity, eye for design, and natural gift for storytelling turned what could have been a technical project into something vibrant and full of personality.

Together, they’re the perfect duo: Dave’s the science, Steph’s the sparkle, and Billy Stitch is the delicious result.
