About The Ben Buckler
Our Journey
Most of us would have a bucket list, a collection of wild & wacky ideas to get through in our lifetime. Some slip through our fingers, thankfully this one didn’t.
Just after my 50th birthday I came up with a bucket list of things to do before I turn 60 (December 2024). Some ideas are ridiculous, some are fun, some are cool and I reckon having my own whisky is a blend of all three.
Over 40 years in television I’ve been lucky enough to host some of the biggest tv formats in the world and interview some of the biggest stars on the planet but bringing The Ben Buckler to life is right up there with the most exciting projects I’ve been involved in.
There’s a rock I used to sit on for hours and watch the waves roll in, it’s where I would solve all the problems of the world and where I would come up with crazy ideas, this whisky is one of those crazy ideas. I hope you enjoy drinking it as much as I enjoyed making it."

Ben Buckler is the northern point of Bondi Beach, it’s where I grew up. There areonly three streets on the point and I’ve lived on them all at various stages in my life. I learned to swim in the baby’s pool there, I learned to surf just off the rocks, my first job was delivering newspapers around Ben Buckler, my first apartment with Sylvie was there. Ben Buckler was my world.
Larry Emdur visited Corowa Distilling Co back in 2020 with the dream of creating a special whisky for his family & friends for his 60th birthday. Working closely with head distiller Beau Schilg, Larry was able to develop his signature flavour that ended up tasting so good, that it won GOLD at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2024 and SILVER at the Melbourne Royal Australian Distilled Spirits Awards 2024. The Ben Buckler combines ex tawny port & bourbon barrels to create a single malt whisky that has approachable sweetness & deliciously savoury character.
If you want your product to stand out in a crowded global marketplace, there is no better way to do so than to get the most prestigious accolade in the world.
