We are a team of rebel winemakers, food technologists and passionate distillers with a pioneering spirit. Our dedication to the craft has inspired us to explore far and wide. Between us all, we’ve travelled the globe discovering the best and most exotic wines & spirits on offer.
Every day we challenge ourselves and our associates to push the boundaries of winemaking, distillation and barrel ageing. Our combination of astute research techniques, Distillation capabilities and cutting-edge technology underpin our success.
Ash is always looking for new ways of doing things. His intensity can be relentless but it also drives his great passion for winemaking & Distillation to grow Ancient Wisdom Brand. An entrepreneurial spirit and workaholic nature has developed Australian Liquor Company into a unique family that follows his vision to work with smart people to break the rules. On the weekends, Ash slows down a little when he is camping in the bush with his family.
Like many of us here at ALC, Greg Patterson has a strong appreciation for Richard Branson’s philosophy of building a people-first business culture. Greg applies the same energetic attitude to his project management and business development activities at ALC – as well as to a fresh seafood platter when given the chance. He will most definitely fight you for the prawns.
Greg spends his days focused on building Business opportunities and heads to the coast come the weekend for a dose of ocean activity or bit of countryside cycling. It can be hard to keep up with Greg, and when he is cycling. However, he will always slow down to spend time with his wife & grandchildren. We are pretty stoked to have him as part of the ALC family too.
Raz has been with ALC since it began in 2015, a Dentist by qualification with background in strategic Planning and Business advisory services. She does most of the brain storming when it comes to Business development. She is queen of the numbers and keeps ALC on track with her organisation and constant persistence to ensure the success of Ancient Wisdom. In her spare time, she loves spending time with her 3 yrs. old daughter Myra.
She is a big motogp fan-LOVE Valentino Rossi, a passionate or some may say loud and emotional Geelong supporter, and I have recently started training with the Echuca Women’s cricket team to see where this may take me.
After a hectic last few years in automotive field in China, Daryl has come on ALC Board to develop business in Southeast Asia. Daryl’s perfect way to kick off retirement in next few years will be by travelling & promoting ALC products overseas.
Gordon now retired from Metropolitan Fire Brigade is one of the founding members of ALC. Away from work, he enjoys long-distance running, golf, wine and travel - sometimes combining all on the same trip.
Fitness fanatic who is an accountant by day and Group Fitness Instructor by night. Or should that the other way around? Loves spending time with his young family water skiing on the Murray River and getting involved in all their school and sporting activities.
Passionate mountain bike rider and snowboarder. Spends as much time in Bright as he can. Either riding the mountain bike trails and or on the slopes at Mt Hotham. He’s also a keen Hawks supporter, who loves his team as much as he hates the Cats!!!!
