Norman Yates Distillery – 2024 Wrap-Up

As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on a year of incredible milestones, growth, and exciting new ventures at Norman Yates Distillery. With our two leading brands – Steinbok and Authentic Batching Co. we’ve continued to craft exceptional products for a growing community of passionate customers and venues.

Here’s a look back at the highlights that defined our year:

By the Numbers
165,775L of premium spirits batched, reflecting our unwavering commitment to quality.
250,889 bottles produced across our brands, ensuring consistent supply to venues, retailers and commercial customers.
3,500+ customers served, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in the industry.
293 pallet movements, ensuring seamless logistics and stock availability.

In 2024, we expanded our operations in exciting ways. One standout moment was the purchase of Gilly’s Mobile Cocktail Saloon, which hit the road to bring our cocktails to major events like the Glenworth Grazing Festival, Rock the Farm by East Coast and the Wyong Cup Race Day. Gilly’s Mobile Cocktail Saloon has been a fantastic way to showcase our products and connect with customers in unforgettable settings.

We also welcomed three new team members to the Norman Yates family and added a touch of flair with the purchase of a limo, which will feature in 2025. Stay tuned!


Looking to the future, we’ve laid the foundation for our 450sqm distillery extension. This new space will feature two additional production lines, new offices and a Distillery Door for tours, tastings and educational bar courses, creating even more opportunities to share our craft with the community.

As we wrap up the year, we want to thank our partners, customers and team for their unwavering support. Your enthusiasm and faithfulness inspire everything we do. Here’s to a successful 2024 and an even more exciting 2025 ahead.

Warm regards,
The Norman Yates Distillery Team
