How a House Swap Sparked a Bourbon Brand – Fernhill Station

This isn’t your average bourbon origin story. It starts with a house swap — and ends with a bottle of Fernhill Station on the shelf in Australia.

In the second ep with James from HP Bowlo, we hear how a simple home exchange led to a deep dive into American whiskey, inspired a brand name, and sparked a whole new obsession. We talk through the journey of building a label from scratch, balancing work and passion, and finding a flavour profile that felt like them.

It’s real, it’s hilarious, and it’s exactly why we love indie bourbon.
