Goalong Eco-Sustainability
To minimize environmental impact, Goalong Distillery has implemented a series of measures, establishing its own eco-system. In the whisky distillation process, substantial heat generated is harnessed by heat exchangers to preheat materials like mash, thereby conserving energy. Wastewater discharge adheres strictly to environmental standards and is recycled wherever possible, treated to remove organics and minerals for reuse in production or cleaning. CO2 emissions from fermentation are captured via specialized equipment and repurposed in other product production. Spent grain from saccharification is fed to Angus cattle at partnering farms; their manure is processed at an organic fertilizer plant, which nurtures the glutinous rice experimental fields—key ingredient for Goalong's grain whiskey. This cycle completes the self-sustaining Goalong eco-system.
