Lily Fields Distilling Co. is an independent Sydney distillery founded by Jennifer and Shannon Hunt in 2022. Built on a mix of chemistry, creativity and serious attention to flavour, Lily Fields creates award-winning Australian spirits with a bright Inner West point of view.
Jen brings more than 20 years of chemistry experience and a meticulous approach to formulation, flavour balance and production. Shannon brings a background in design, hospitality spaces and horticulture, helping shape both the spirits and the world around them.
Together, we make small-batch spirits that feel polished, distinctive and unmistakably local.
How Lily Fields Started
Lily Fields Distilling Co. began as a career shift, a local idea, and a serious amount of research. During the Covid years, Jen’s background in chemistry and growing interest in distillation turned into something bigger. Together, Jen and Shannon decided to build a distillery that brought together science, flavour, design and a strong connection to Lilyfield and the Inner West.
In November 2022, we launched our first release, Sydney Dry Gin. Bright, crisp and citrus-led, it quickly earned recognition in major spirits competitions. We followed it with Juniper Dry Gin, a bolder London Dry style expression that went on to win one of the highest honours in Australian gin.
Since launch, Lily Fields has earned 30 medals across Australian and international competitions.
