Tom Ambroz

This year’s Furneaux Festival proudly features one of its own, Tom Ambroz, a man whose life story is as rich and varied as the spirits he distills. Not only is Tom a talented musician set to grace the festival stage, but he is also the driving force behind the Furneaux Distillery, embedding his passion for whisky in the very heart of the island.

Tom’s journey is a fascinating blend of music, mixology, and masterful distillation. As a musician, he brings a unique flavour to his performances, much like his approach to whisky making. His music, characterised by an easy-going style and rich experience, resonates with the soul of the island and community.

As Tom takes the stage at the Furneaux Festival, he doesn’t just bring music; he brings a story of passion, dedication, and a love for the island life and a captivating tale of following one’s dreams.
