About Coburns
When entrepreneur Mark Coburn declared to his family that he would drink 20 year old Coburns Whisky on his 70th birthday, they knew if anyone could make it happen it would be him.
By his 49th birthday, Mark knew he needed to get spirit into the barrel to meet his audacious goal. What followed was the building of Station Lane Distillery in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.
The distillery’s location is unique for not only being built on Australia’s largest peat bog but also for being 770 metres above sea level.
Our international success can be attributed to the cold nights and warm days of the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, which we believe to be the perfect conditions for ageing world-class whisky.
Why Coburns
Coburns is an end to end solution. We are not simply a go-between, connecting investors with whisky distilleries. We are involved at every step of the way – from manufacturing to buying the barrel back.
We have a buy back agreement in place with every purchase. Coburns is legally obligated to buy back the barrel at maturity. Once we have determined the whisky has matured (between 3-5 years), we buy the barrel back at purchase price plus return.

Whisky Investing Ticks All The Boxes
Consistent growth potential
Rare and limited edition whiskies have a proven track record of increasing in value over time. In Australia, whisky leads as the top revenue-generating spirit, contributing approximately 1.7 billion U.S. dollars. The rarity of these bottles grows as they are consumed or become collectibles, driving up their market value and providing substantial returns for whisky investors.
Rising global demand
The demand for high-quality whisky, particularly in developing markets, has strengthened the case for investment. Collectors and enthusiasts worldwide are always seeking unique and rare bottles, further driving up potential returns.
Diversification with stability
Adding whisky to your investment portfolio can protect against volatility in other financial markets. Its value does not move in direct correlation with stocks or bonds, making it a more stable investment option for the long term.
Investing in cask whisky has been around for centuries, but only available to a select few. Coburn and Co’s mission is to produce the world’s best whisky right here in Australia and open the opportunity for high growth gains to individuals interested in owning a part of this rich heritage.
Hear from our Barrel Owners
My wife and I attended the Distillery on the weekend to see where the magic happens. Brad the barrel master met up on site and did a tour of the Distillery. We heard the plans first hand for the future and as investors in the product it was great to see how it comes together. My wife did a tasting of a couple of the whiskies on hand from the barrels and certainly could appreciate the difference between barrels and thoughts on where to for these barrels for further finishing before bottling. We are very content with our investment to date and where Stn Lane Coburns is heading.

My wife and I spent a couple of hours with Mark and Brad at the distillery, on a misty, cold and wet morning. Mark answered all our questions without a hint of holding anything back and even provided information on things I hadn’t thought of. I would recommend a visit to the Distillery to listen to Mark’s vision for the future of “Coburns”. If you were to leave with any uncertainty of Mark’s commitment to the long term future of Coburns, and it’s commercial success, I would be amazed.

Great to see the Coburn dream and aspirations coming alive with such a dedicated team. Wonderful to meet Mark and Brad in person. It’s sure going to have some character! Congratulations on a full trophy room for your gold standard product!

Down the lane and over the tracks to a wooden building where the journey of grain and water begins. The whisky is of the highest quality, taste and aroma. The end result is a testament to Mark and his team! Passion in a barrel to be enjoyed now and forever.

Luke Close2024-05-30What can I say about Coburns whiskey, the leaders in Australian whiskey, I’ve been a barrel owner for 3yrs and can say they have exceeded my expectations of a owner of whiskey they are not just a company that will take your money but a family that will bring you in and show you what they are doing and how there doing it, I’ve been to the stn lane a few times now and went today with my partner and son, Brad was showing us what they have done with the place since we have been there, while there mark came back with the latest edition to Coburns family there soon to be released gold winning whiskey and what can I say I can’t wait to get my hands on it, as the tasting that Brad took us on just showed why it’s a award winning whiskey and can’t wait for the series to be released, once again thank you Brad for showing us around, and to mark for make this a reality of having Coburns whiskey come to life, a truly amazing Australian whiskeyKevin Saunders2023-11-21I first contacted Mark when he floated the idea of investing in a barrel some 5 years ago, he is one very passionate man and is on a mission to create Australia's finest single malt ( i believe he can do it)! I had the opportunity to attend one of Coburns whisky tasting events recently. Fiona's knowledge and passion comes through when talking about the Coburns brand, very in depth and she is able to draw on years of experience.Karl Virbickas2023-11-16When we first decided to invest in whisky barrels we drove to Burrawang to meet Mark Coburn and from that first meeting we knew Mark is a man on a mission! With passion and vision he and his team, including Brad, have built up a business that continues to grow exponentially. We look forward to seeing the Coburn brand succeed as they continue to win awards producing some quality whiskies.Aaron Yule2023-11-02Great group of people, very knowledgeable in all things whisky. The barrel owner whisky tastings are a must do.Peter Gaze2023-10-19Have been a whisky barrel investor for a few years now. Have had a great experience so far on the investment side and find The staff very informed and a delight to work with. Attended a recent tasting which was also cool to catch up with other investors and sample gold winning tastings. Highly recommend.Paul Brisk2023-09-14I have been a barrel owner at Coburns for almost 3 years. As a whisky enthusiast there is no better way to experience the art of changing clear spirit into whisky and getting to taste directly from the barrel as your own whisky ages and grows in complexity. I have visited the distillery twice now - 2 years ago when my whisky was just 1 year in the barrel, and again just a few days ago. Brad was a great host showing me around the distillery on both occasions. It is impressive to see how things are progressing from start-up to award winners. On my last visit had the pleasure of tasting the recently released 5 year old double gold winning whisky and it is hugely impressive. Was great to meet Mark Coburn and chat about the future for Coburns.Ray Vest2023-09-07The vision of Coburn’s whiskey team and attention to the product is what encouraged me to become a barrel owner.Joe Aglieco2023-06-30I recommend attending Coburn’s Whiskey tasting sessions hosted by Fiona. It’s a great experience and amazing that they have come a long way in a short time in producing some excellent whiskeys.brendan hogan2023-06-09Over the past several years have had the pleasure to talk to Coburn staff several times. Recently had the opportunity to try several of their cask strength releases. Very very impressed. Much has been achieved over the last several years and I can clearly see why the gold and double gold awards are arriving in the international completions this product has been submitted too.maree holton2023-06-08Great place in a lovely setting , beautiful whiskey flavours 😊 Easy to invest in a barrel.
