5Nines

5Nines Distillery represents the singular vision of founders David Pearse and Steven Griguol—two artisans united by an uncompromising quest to create the perfect spirit. The brand's name is a direct reflection of this philosophy: 5Nines denotes 99.999% perfection, the highest attainable standard of precision and excellence in distilling, borrowed from engineering's gold standard for reliability. Situated in the pristine Adelaide Hills of South Australia, a cool-climate region renowned for its world-class wine and spirits production, 5Nines operates as a true craft distillery focused exclusively on small-batch, artisanal production. Our core portfolio centers on hand-crafted single malt whiskey, super-premium gin distilled with native botanicals, and a curated selection of other fine spirits. Every expression is built on a foundation of traditional copper pot distillation, extended fermentation periods, and the purest locally-sourced ingredients, capturing the distinctive character of our terroir. The cornerstone of the 5Nines experience is our exclusive Whiskey Cask Ownership Program—an immersive, multi-year journey that transforms enthusiasts into whiskey creators. Participants select from a carefully curated collection of premium oak casks (ex-bourbon, sherry, wine, or virgin oak), which are then filled with our signature new-make malt spirit. Under the direct mentorship of our distilling team, owners monitor their cask's maturation in our climate-controlled bond store, making critical decisions on aging duration and finishing techniques. The result is a deeply personal, one-of-a-kind whiskey that reflects both our craftsmanship and the owner's individual vision—a spirit that can never be replicated.
