Story

Tan Lines Distilling was founded with a passion for creating exceptional Australian spirits that capture the lifestyle, character, and adventure of the tropics. Today, the business enters an exciting new chapter as a proudly 100% female-owned Australian distillery.

Under the ownership of Lisa Chesterfield, a former Deloitte Director and experienced business leader, Tan Lines Distilling continues to build on its reputation for quality, innovation, and authentic craftsmanship. Lisa brings a wealth of commercial expertise and a fresh vision for the future, while remaining committed to the values and spirit that have made Tan Lines a distinctive brand.

While Aaron Rieniets is no longer an owner of the business, he remains actively involved in operations and continues to contribute his industry knowledge, experience, and passion for the brand. This continuity ensures that the traditions, relationships, and dedication that shaped Tan Lines remain at the heart of everything we do.

At Tan Lines Distilling, we believe great spirits should bring people together. Inspired by long summer days, coastal living, and unforgettable moments shared with friends and family, our products are designed to celebrate the Australian way of life.

Every bottle reflects our commitment to quality ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. From concept to creation, we focus on delivering spirits that are approachable, memorable, and distinctly Australian.

As a female-owned business, Tan Lines Distilling is proud to champion diversity, leadership, and innovation within the Australian spirits industry. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain dedicated to creating exceptional products, building strong community connections, and growing a brand that customers are proud to support.

The future of Tan Lines Distilling is bright, and we're only just getting started.
