Amber Lane double-distils 100% Australian malted barley in 'The Mary Rose', a 3,600-litre copper pot still modelled on Springbank's Campbeltown design. The 'Quintessence' (or Aether) completes the Alchemical Series as the fifth classical element. Where the 'Water' expression was slow-proofed (water gradually added over time), the Quintessence was rapid-proofed — producing a strikingly different character from identical base spirit, demonstrating how proofing technique shapes the final dram. Bottled at 49.3% ABV, non-chill-filtered, at natural colour, with no artificial additives. Gold medal winner at the 2024 Sydney Royal Distilled Spirits Show.

Amber Lane Distillery is located in the Yarramalong Valley on the Central Coast of New South Wales, approximately 90 minutes north of Sydney. Founded in 2017 by amateur astronomers Rod Berry and Phil Townsend after a chance encounter with a small whisky distillery during a rural stargazing trip, Amber Lane has rapidly become one of Australia's most decorated craft producers. Every release to date has received at least one international competition medal, and the distillery took Champion Single Malt Whisky at the 2024 Sydney Royal Distilled Spirits Show. All expressions are produced from 100% Australian malted barley, double-distilled in a 3,600-litre copper pot still modelled on Springbank's Campbeltown design, and matured in large-format premium casks of 200–250 litres — primarily ex-bourbon (Heaven Hill) and ex-sherry from Spain.
