About Us

Meet the 'Reed' & the 'Co'

We're Rachel Reed & Hamish Nugent, chefs-turned-distillers and the makers behind Reed & Co. Distillery, Koji Bird Restaurant & Koji Spirits.

Our goal is simple: to create great quality drinks that we enjoy, and share them with others.

We distill Gin and Australian Shochu right here in Bright, and we welcome guests for tastings, cocktails and dinner at Koji Bird Restaurant.

We combine Japanese distilling influence with local Alpine ingredients, offering spirits, dining, and a destination experience in Victoria’s High Country.

So...what exactly is an Izakaya?

Never been to an Izakaya-style restaurant? Here's what to expect... An Izakaya is less about a specific style of cooking and more about a way of eating. An Izakaya is all about sharing good food, enjoying great drinks and spending time with friends.

Love Whisky, Gin, or vodka? here's the shochu you'll love

Wondering if you'll like shochu? Find the perfect style based on your favourite drink, whether it's whisky, gin, vodka or wine. "I want to try shochu... but where do I start?" And answer is easier than you think: don't start by trying to learn everything there is to know about shochu. Start with what you already enjoy drinking!
