The décor (and the whisky) at Killingworth Hill Cafe represents a collection that is the product of decades of searching and dedication. It’s rustic, traditional Australiana with more than a smack of sophistication. Drink in the history as you sample some of the finest drams you’ll ever come across. Discerning whisky lovers enjoy an experience that’s more than the sum of its parts.
