Camborne Single Malt: A First Taste of St. Agnes Distillery's New Whisky

Richard is a fifth generation family member of the Angove Family, one of Australia’s oldest family owned winemakers, distillers and distributors of fine wine and spirits. The Angove family run Australia’s oldest continually operating distillery, St Agnes Distillery, which specialises in the production of premium St Agnes Brandy (perennial award winners and favourites of the Whisky & Alement team) as well as gin and whisky.

Growing up at the winery and distillery it was natural that Richard studied both winemaking, distillation and business and today runs the family operation with his sister Victoria. Not only is Richard one of the most knowledgeable spirits professionals in Australia with an incredibly pedigree, he's also just released Camborne Whisky.
