Walkamin is a rural town and locality in the Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia.
The town has a hot and humid wet season from mid-November to mid-April and a warm, sunny dry season from mid-April to mid-November; though the climate is made cooler and drier by the town's elevation.

The distillery owner, Mark Watkins, believes the climate in Walkamin contributes to faster maturation of the liqueurs.
