About Autonomy:

Autonomy's story differs slightly from other distilleries. As they started learning about the process of spirit production, Autonomy's distillers were astounded by the amount of resources required to produce a bottle of liquor. They felt that so many aspects of the process were 'environmentally disproportionate'. They saw the huge quantity of grain and water being used in the fermentation process; the energy required during distillation; the importation of single-use glass bottles and exotic botanicals from all corners of the earth.

In using native species of Australian botanicals, Autonomy Distillery supports local businesses, local farmers and reduces food miles and associated fossil fuels. Rather than peeling whole fruits, Autonomy collects left over citrus peels from Market Juice Co once they're done squeezing fresh juice.
