Mini Farm Project
There’s a little more behind every bottle of Dark Acre. Every bottle helps fund the Mini Farm Project, building sustainable charity farms that provide fresh food for Australian families doing it tough.
Our story
Lisa and Riley Chesterfield
Six Fathoms is a mother and daughter. Lisa spent her career designing brands and customer experiences. Riley came from hospitality, in venues, fine dining and events, and runs the operational side of every batch.
A fathom is an old measure of depth. Six fathoms marked safe, navigable water, the point where a long day at sea gave way to calm.
Lisa describes it as "that exact second when the anchor drops, the sails are furled, the coastline catches the last golden light of the sunset, and the noise of the world finally slows down."
Made for golden hours and long afternoons.
"A gin shouldn't just taste good in a quiet tasting room. It has to excel in a high-end bar, cut through in a classic cocktail, and elevate the home entertainer's glass."
The Art of the Slow Pour
Every Six Fathoms spirit is made in small batches.
Six Fathoms is a house of craft. Each small-batch bottle is made from ingredients we choose, with partners who share our standards, for the drinks you share with the people you love.

The Six Fathoms feeling
There’s a moment when the day is done, the noise starts to fade and you finally get to slow down.
That’s Six Fathoms. It’s that sweet spot between the rough and the calm, when you’ve finished what needed finishing, poured yourself something good, and there’s nowhere else you need to be.
We make small-batch gin, vodka, whisky and liqueurs for that moment.
So whether you’re watching the sun go down or simply putting your feet up at the end of a long day, consider this your invitation to slow down, pour a drink and settle in.
