Barking Owl Distilling Co.
The Nook
An inner circle built on access, not algorithms.
Three ways in. One community. The shed at its heart.
How it works
Three ways in. Free to start.
You don't need to pay anything to be part of The Nook. Start as an Explorer, earn your way in — or skip straight to membership if you already know you love us.
Explorer

Grab a chilli bottle — Hot Winter Gin on a mountain trail, High Country Kick at the end of a long ride — photograph it somewhere genuinely beautiful and submit it. We'll feature the best on the website, and you'll earn a one-time discount on your next full-size purchase.

No points. Just surprises.
