Julie and Eduard Otter are a sister and brother team who walked away from highflying corporate roles to start up their own premium whiskey and vodka distillery (OCD)… then COVID-19 struck.

Julie is one of my closest lady friends and so I was super excited to get this duo on (not least as they make the BEST vodka I have ever tasted, and I have tasted a lot of vodka…) but as they had made such a fantastic career flip. But with any good cocktail that Eduard creates their story comes with an extra ‘twist’. Otter Craft Distilling (OCD) was in its earlier stages as a business; being picked up by elite restaurants and bars in Australia, were gaining serious interest from overseas and then won some coveted alcohol awards. Then COVID-19 struck and while alcohol sales went through the roof and straight into our lockdown glasses not enough people were stocking up on premium alcohol.


And OCD ground to a halt… that was until they quickly pivoted and started to manufacture WHO (World Health Organisation) approved hand sanitizer. You’ll enjoy their story and tips on how to work with family members. WARNING Eduard attempts karaoke toward the end of the episode in case you have sensitive ears!


Now more than ever it is so important we support local producers wherever we can. Be it alcohol or hand sanitizer check out the products at www.ocdistilling.com
