Our Story

Welcome to the rich tapestry of our history. Our story is one of resilience, passion, and a deep-seated commitment to crafting Tasmania's finest spirits.

The Birth of Section 44

Mr Andrew Patten, Mr Raj Charan Singh, and the Hon Stephen Parry
Discover the inspiring story behind the birth of Section 44 Distillery and the founders who brought their vision to life. The name Section 44 stems from an interpretation of the Australian Constitution that disqualified Senators and Members of Parliament from holding office if their father was born overseas. As a result, Stephen Parry, a Tasmanian-born Senator, lost his role in the Senate. This event brought together the three founders: Andrew Patten, Raj Charan Singh, and Stephen Parry, who decided to create a legacy in the spirits industry. United by their shared vision and commitment to quality, the trio embarked on a journey to craft exquisite Tasmanian spirits, building the foundation of Section 44 Distillery as we know it today.
